Biography

Mike is Head of Data Insights at Digital Science where he works with publishers and research enterprises to understand the impact of their journals and research.

Mike is an innovator in scholarly metrics and social impact. Prior to the development of altmetrics, he was working to understand how researchers were using emerging social media networks and other platforms to exchange information. Mike has conducted much research and has published papers and presentations on altmetrics and other forms of impact. He is working towards a PhD with Mike Thelwall at Wolverhampton University on Open Access publishing and social impact.

Mike has been involved in many open initiatives during his career, most notably contributing to the architecture of the Orcid repository and API prior to its launch during his time at Elsevier Labs.
