I am a Scientometrician. I studied the Bachelor's Degree in Information Science at the University of Extremadura (Spain) where I received the Award to the best academic record in 2007. After that I presented my BSc thesis receiving the Bachelor's Degree Extraordinary Award in 2011. I completed my PhD in Bibliometrics in 2012 (PhD thesis title: Study of scientific citation flows and their relationship with impact indicators) at the University of Extremadura under the supervision of Professor Vicente P. Guerrero Bote and developed within SCImago research group. Then in 2014 I received the Extraordinary PhD Award, a recognition for the best academic record and doctoral theses of the university.
I have led the Bibliometrics Service at the University of Leeds and I have been a Postdoctoral researcher in Scientometrics and Research analytics at the Tecnologico de Monterrey (Mexico) under the supervision of Professor in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Francisco J. Cantú Ortiz. Before that I have had several research assistant positions in different institutions such as at BAC: Research Group on Bibliometrics of the Institució Centres de Recerca de Catalunya (iCERCA), at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and at the University of Malaga (Spain).
Citation analysis is my primary research focus and area of expertise. However I have produced articles focus on factors influencing research productivity of countries, bibliometric mappings of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and questionable publishing.
I am the Chair of the LIS Bibliometrics committee, a group of bibliometrics professionals practitioners and scholars who actively support the bibliometrics international community. We organise the annual international LIS Bibliometrics conference.
I received, alongside the Responsible Research Metrics Group (RRMG), the Responsible Research and Innovation Award at the University of Leeds Research Culture Awards 2022. This award recognises the importance of responsible research practices, and rewards efforts to place research integrity at the core of our work, ensuring it’s trustworthy, ethical, honest, rigorous, respectful and accountable.

Active and collaborative learning and student-centered approach. Inclusive academic practice.
Investigating cutting-edge pedagogies, such as the pedagogy of gratitude, learning through wonder that inspires curiosity, inquiry, and discovery, and equity-oriented pedagogy that seeks out more equitable approaches to enhance learning for all.
My area of expertise is Bibliometrics and Scientometrics. I would be interested in supervising PhD/Master/Undergraduate students at any angle of Bibliometrics and Scientometrics and linking them with data analytics and data science. Some examples of specific potential topics (but are not limited to):
These topics are general and can be more detailed once the students show an interest in any of them. I will consider any new proposals and discuss any ideas that come up.
In my papers, I analyse the citation increment among collaborating countries. I have also examined how citation patterns of disciplines and bibliographic database coverage may influence the citation flows between subject areas.
The impact of economic factors on countries' research productivity has been the subject of my recent publications. I used data from citation databases, UNESCO, and the OECD for this purpose. I confirmed the relationship between investment in research and scientific results using multiple linear regression.
As well as understanding the scientific contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), I focus my research on the mechanisms to interpret this data, since different databases can produce different results.
