I am a lecturer in the Department of Library and Information Science at the University of Barcelona where I teach several a courses on scientific information and research methods in LIS.

My research interests focus on scholarly communication and scientists' information behaviour in the electronic environment. My research deals with statistics of use of scientific electronic resources, how researchers manage information for research purposes, data sharing and the use social media in research settings. I have also conducted research on journals evaluation and participated in bibliometric studies on gender differences in research productivity.
