I am a social scientist, currently serving as head of the Scholarly Communication Research Group (associate professor at Faculty of Philosophy, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland) and associate professor at Faculty of Computer Science (West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin, Poland). My academic background is in philosophy and communication, which has driven my passion for investigating critical aspects of scholarly communication. My research primarily focuses on the nuances of predatory publishing and the far-reaching consequences of research evaluation systems.
My research group has made major contributions to our understanding of the effects of research evaluation systems and transformations of scholarly communication in metricized academia. I address research problems from transdisciplinary perspectives, drawing on classical works in the sociology of science, higher education research, social studies of science, evaluation studies, critical university studies, and bibliometrics. I just believe that (social) reality is not categorized into disciplines but areas and practices worth exploring.
I want to use my research to improve academia. From 2018 to 2020, I was the chair of ENRESSH (European Network for Research Evaluation in the Social Sciences and the Humanities). In 2019, I co-founded the Helsinki Initiative on Multilingualism in Scholarly Communication. Moreover, I have been a policy advisor for the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in Poland since 2013.
