His work is centered in Library and Information Science, with a strong emphasis on webometrics, cybermetrics, and digital scholarly communication. He contributes to key initiatives such as the EXIT directory, DocuMenea, and the ThinkEPI think tank, promoting innovation in information science through collaborative and web-based platforms.

Research Interests: His research spans webometrics, information retrieval, author name disambiguation, academic search engines (especially Google Scholar), and the use of social media (e.g., Twitter) as alternative indicators of academic impact. He investigates the web presence and visibility of universities, digital repositories, and industry-academia linkages.

Publication Trends: His most recent work (2013–2015) focuses on methodological advances in measuring academic web impact, including estimating Google Scholar's index size, analyzing Twitter as a source of external links, and mapping the web network structures of private companies and university-industry interactions. These studies reflect a strong methodological orientation using data from Topsy, Majestic, and Open Site Explorer.
