Bridging borders or widening gaps? The dynamics of European scientific collaboration networks
European co-authorship networks from 1990–2023, examined through dynamic blockmodeling across the rise of the Internet, EU enlargement and ERA initiatives.

A small editorial shelf instead of making visitors decode a forty-item bibliography before they know what I actually work on.
Longitudinal patterns of scientific collaboration in doctoral studies
How mentor–mentee scientific collaboration develops across doctoral study and beyond.
The Relative Fit measure for evaluating a blockmodel
A relative measure designed to make blockmodel fit more interpretable and comparable.
