Senior academic librarian, Research support & bibliometrics

Affiliation

Short info

I am part of the research support group at the University library, where I work in the Bibliometrics group to provide analysis of publication trends (e.g. co-authorship, thematic analyses, field mappings) for ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´ and ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´ researchers.
Research

I am part of the research support group at the University library, where I work in the with analysis of publication trends (e.g. co-authorship, thematic analyses, field mappings). This work involves preparing the annual publishing report for ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´, meeting requests for statistics from researchers and administrative staff, and various projects. As part of this group, I contribute to development programs for researchers with seminars on metrics, .

I am working on the project Sustainable Development Research for All, where we maintain a portal for easy access to SDG-related reseach from Norway () and a mapping method for SDG-related publications ().

I hold a PhD in biology, which focused on non-native seaweeds in relation to native species and climate change.
