dr.ir. M.G.P. van Veller (Marco)

As information specialist for the faculty ITC, I support both students and staff with search and use of scientific information related to their study or research. Also, you may ask me to assist in the selection of journals for (Open Access) publishing or to help with software and tools for managing references and proper citation. Finally, I can contribute to collection management adjusted to the disciplines of the faculty and I can help with bibliometric analyses and visualisations of scientific impact.

Organisations

As an information specialist I have performed research on metrics for scientific impact. Other research was based upon article references to measure the usage of journals for evidence based collection management. I did visualisation studies to perform journal choice based upon co-citation analyses on (subject specific) article references. Based upon the same co-citation analyses I developed a metric for the identification of interdisciplinary research.

Research profiles

As information specialist I teach information skills together with my colleagues in the master study programmes Geo-information science and Earth Observation and Spatial Engineering of the faculty ITC. Also, we teach these skills for the joint master's Cartography and Geographic Information Management and Applications (GIMA). For PhD students of the University of Twente we teach several times per year the Scientific Information Bootcamp.
