Hi there!

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the CALL (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid). I am interested in everything related to evaluating and improving our scientific practices. For this reason, my research focus so far has been on conducting empirical meta-research about aspects such as the adequacy of our methodological practices (with a special emphasis on evidence synthesis), transparency, and the implementation of Open Science practices. I’m also interested in other meta-scientific topics such as science self-correction mechanisms or how we should evaluate research, which includes aspects such as the appraisal of primary studies in evidence synthesis, peer review or hiring decisions at academic environments.
