I am the head of Scholarly Communication Research Group (Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań) and a policy advisor for the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in Poland. I got my PhD (2011) and habilitation (2016) in philosophy.

Currently, I am the chair of the European Network for Research Evaluation in the Social Sciences and the Humanities and a member of the Committee for Evaluation of Scientific Units in the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in Poland. In 2016–2018, I was the chairman of the Commission for the Evaluation of Scientific Journals and Publishers in Poland.

In my research, I focus on two major fields. The first one is research evaluation, in particular scholarly communication, academic publishing, and Open Science. My recent papers were published in "Nature", "Research Evaluation", "Journal of Informetrics", "Scientometrics", and "Aslib Journal of Information Management".

The other field is philosophy of communication and communication metatheory. I am the author of two books in Polish: "Theorizing Communication" (2012) and "Two Aspects of Communication. Foundations of Communication History" (2015).

In 2016, I was awarded a Scholarship for Outstanding Young Scientists in Poland (2016–2019). In 2018, I was a laureate of the scientific award of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

As part of my research, I try to go beyond the walls of the Academy. Therefore, I write popular science articles and essays. For many years, I have conducted seminars and workshops on scholarly communication.

Since 2010, I have been writing an academic blog entitled “Warsztat badacza” (“Scholar’s Workshop”), where I discuss scholarly communication, research evaluation, science policy, and other issues related to the daily work of researchers. Although I write only in Polish, my blog has over 30.000 unique readers per month.
