About me

I am a professor at the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEMéx), a senior consultant at Scientificomm, and a Level 2 member of Mexico’s National System of Researchers (SNI), Conacyt. With over 20 years of experience, my work focuses on scholarly communication, Open Science, and Open Access. My academic background includes Sociology, Urban Studies, Social Theory, Education, and Data Science and Analytics.

Throughout my career, I have worked internationally as a visiting professor in Research Methodology at the Universidad de Cuenca, Ecuador and as a visiting researcher at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). Since 2018, I have been an Ambassador for Latin America for Figshare, promoting open-access initiatives. I also mentor researchers through Rising Scholars (formerly AuthorAID), supporting early-career scholars in low and middle income countries.

I actively contribute to the development of Open Science policies. I played a key role in the creation of Mexico’s 2014 Open Access Law. Since 2019, I have collaborated with OUI-IOHE as an instructor on topics related to open science and scholarly communication. Currently, I serve on the Board of Directors for the Open Education Conference, am part of the Advisory Group for the OA Switchboard, and contribute to the Programme Committee for the Born-Digital Collections Archives and Memory Conference.

I chair the Red Iberoamericana de Investigación sobre Globalización y Territorio (RII) and am a member of the Scientific Committee of the Red Latinoamericana de Sistemas Sociales y Complejidad (RELASSC).

In 2025, I was recognized as one of the PREreview Champions, a distinction that acknowledges a commitment to open, collaborative, and inclusive peer review.
