Dr. Dr. habil. Lutz Bornmann works as a sociologist of science 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, especially the h index. He is a member of the editorial
board of the Journal of Informetrics
(Elsevier) and Scientometrics
(Springer, starting in January 2012). 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
more than 80 papers in journals covered by Thomson Reuters with a total of
more than 900 citations. His h index amounts to 16 (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. ESI lists
six of his papers as highly cited papers (belonging to the top 1% of papers
in the social sciences). |
