In Applied Evaluative Informetrics the author adopts a didactic approach and a pragmatic perspective, drawing on his extensive knowledge and experience. He has written the book for a general audience of non-experts and only secondarily for the scientometric or informetric community. (David A. Pendlebury, Scientometrics, Vol. 119, 2019)

He obtained a Ph.D. degree in Science Studies at the University of Leiden in 1989. He has been active in numerous research topics, including: the creation of bibliometric databases from raw data from Thomson Scientific’s Web of Science and Elsevier’s Scopus; analysis of inaccuracies in citation matching; assessment of the potentialities and pitfalls of journal impact factors; the development and application of science indicators for the measurement of research performance in the basic natural- and life sciences; the use of bibliometric indicators as a tool to assess peer review procedures; the development and application of performance indicators in social sciences and humanities; studies of the effects of ‘Open Access’ upon research impact and studies of patterns in ‘usage’ (downloading) behaviour of users ofelectronic scientific publication warehouses; studies of the effects of the use of bibliometric indicators upon scientific authors and journal publishers. He has published numerous research articles, and is editor of several journals in his field. He is a winner of the Derek de Solla Price Award in 1999. He edited, jointly with W. Glanzel and U.
