These are my topics of interest and related selected papers in English:


Scientometrics with aspects related to ...

Information Retrieval


Media Studies

Talks

I also enjoy giving research talks — videos: Altmetrics, Scientometrics, Text & Data Mining, Research evaluation in France as per the Conseil National des Universités (CNU), and

and collecting unconventional academic papers.


I successfully defended my habilitationhabilitation à diriger des recherches ») on December 8, 2016 :


See also the dissertation in French.



Featured: Work on pirate libraries (e.g., LibGen & Sci-hub) providing access to the scientific literature.

JASIST 2016: Bibliogifts at LibGen Biblioleaks + Crowdsourcing   •   Open Access version Green open access logo by Mitchell N. Charity

Featured in the press:


See also my talk: « Émergence de l’open access "gris" : LibGen et Sci-Hub comme filières clandestines de l'IST » and a brief note with references (both in French).


Monitoring hashtag diffusion on social media is also quite amusing: #ESRenPeinture was a catharsis about academia and higher education.

… and #socioNoël was an Advent calendar with books and articles related to sociology.
