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 spans Sociology, Urban Studies, Social Theory, Education, and Data Science and Analytics.

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

Beyond my academic roles, I actively contribute to shaping Open Science policies. I played a key role in developing Mexico’s 2014 Open Access Law. I currently serve on the Board of Directors for the Open Education Conference, am a member of the Advisory Group for the OA Switchboard, and contribute to the Programme Committee for the Born-Digital Collections Archives and Memory Conference.

Additionally, 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).

I firmly believe that research should be openly accessible to maximize its societal impact. My work is dedicated to fostering transparency, collaboration, and innovation in academic publishing and scholarly communication.
