Abdelghani MADDI
Ingénieur(e) de recherche
My research lies at the intersection of scientometrics, the economics of knowledge, and sociology of science. I focus on the transformations of scientific publication practices, the impacts of open access on the dynamics of knowledge production and dissemination, and issues related to scientific integrity. I am also interested in the evolution of research evaluation mechanisms and the socio-economic transformations of the academic publishing market.
