What is the role of scholarly communication, and how do scholarly communication practices vary across disciplines and research fields? I aim to develop a systematic understanding of those variations, and their impact on how research communities pursue changes to the scholarly communication system, such as Open Access (see Berlin Declaration on Open Access).
In summer 2005, I joined the Information Science PhD program at Cornell University where I enjoy working in collaboration with my PhD advisor Carl Lagoze. In my dissertation research I combine quantitative network analysis methods and qualitative ethnographic methods to study and compare scholarly communication cultures.
