works as a sociologist of science at the Division for Science and Innovation Studies in the Administrative Headquarters of the Max Planck Society in Munich (Germany). Since the late 1990s, he has been working on issues in the promotion of young academics and scientists in the sciences and on quality assurance in higher education. His current research interests include research evaluation, peer review and bibliometric indicators. He is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Informetrics (Elsevier), of PLOS ONE, and of Scientometrics (Springer). Furthermore he is senior associate editor at the International Journal of Biomedical Science Editing (Kowsar) and advisory editorial board member of EMBO Reports (Nature Publishing group).

Since 2004, he has published about 110 papers in journals covered by Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science with a total of about 1500 citations. His h index amounts to 22 (the publication list and citation metrics are available on http://www.researcherid.com/rid/A-3926-2008). Essential Science Indicators (ESI, Thomson Reuters) lists him in the top 1% of all scientists based on total citations over the last ten years.
