I am an Associate Professor (tenure track) in Information Studies at Tampere University, Finland where I specialize in scholarly communication and open science.

On these pages you can find some information about me and a collection of some of the work I have done. Below is a short introduction video that was recorded in 2025 during my first year at Tampere University.

Since 2009 I have been researching the changing landscape towards openness in scholarly publishing by studying combinations of bibliometrics, web metrics, business models, science policy, and author behavior. I defended my PhD thesis on the subject of Open Access journal publishing in 2014 from Hanken School of Economics. Please see the publications section of my webpage if you are interested in the research I´ve been doing.

In addition to teaching, supervision, and research I see societal impact as very important part of my work, thus I frequently give public talks and am involved in various national and international groups. I have been involved in preparing reports for the European Commission, the European Research Council Executive Agency (ERCEA), Harvard Library Office of Scholarly Communication, the Ministry of Education and Culture in Finland, the Finnish Association of Scholarly Publishers, and the Nordic Publications Committee for Humanities and Social Science Periodicals (NOP-HS).

Regarding my current societal engagements I am the chair of the board for the Finnish Association for Scholarly Publishing, a board member and secretary of the Finnish Association of Information Studies, a member of the steering group of the FinELib library consortium, a  member of the Ministry of Education and Culture appointed Advisory board for intellectual property and Committee for Public Information.

I am a member of the editorial board of Nordic Journal of Library and Information Studies, Tampere University Press and Nordic Perspectives on Open Science. I am also on the advisory board of EconStor and the blog Elephant in the Lab.
