Meet our experts

On a regular basis, our experts explain in an interview how they can help you:

Giulia Trentacosti, Open Access Specialist

"There are new developments in scholarly communication almost every day, some of which, for example Plan S, have an enormous impact on the scientific community. We are here to help researchers find their way in this ever-changing and complex area."

Shaya Abdolahzadeh, Research Impact Specialist

"I am here to support our academic community in measuring and optimizing their research impact and exploring potential collaborations or research trends."

Joost Driesens, Bibliographic Management Specialist

"We provide researchers with tailored advice on which bibliographic management programme is best suited to their specific research."

Margreet Nieborg, Publishing Consultant for University of Groningen Press

“University of Groningen Press combines traditional library expertise with advice on the latest publication trends and tailor-made technological support for academic editors and authors."

Tiemen Folkers, Author Identification (ORCID) Specialist

"An ORCID iD unambiguously links you to your publications. This makes your work more visible. My tip: add your ORCID iD to Pure for easy synchronisation of your research activities".

Mira Zhuk, Open Educational Resources Specialist

“Open Educational Resources become more prominent in higher education. They facilitate a quicker transition to online teaching, help educators to create innovative resources while taking into account students’ needs and learning goals.”

Doetsje Brouwer, Pure Support Specialist

"Every year, more than 10,000 publications by UG authors pass through our hands. We continuously improve Pure to increase the findability of research results and to relieve researchers as much as possible in the registration of their research output."
