Profile

Biography

I am a quantitative social scientist and Emeritus Professor of Research Methodology. My interests are mainly in public understanding of science, survey methodology, research integrity and metascience (using scientific methods to study science itself). I am primarily a survey researcher but I also use other forms of data according to the projects I am involved in. I am no longer teaching regularly but I am available for research and consultancy roles that align with my fields of expertise and interest. Outside of academia, I play music and cricket (one quite well and the other quite poorly). I'm also a private pilot and flying instructor.

Practices, Perceptions and Patterns of Research Integrity

The aim of the project is to provide a detailed mapping and improved contextualised understandings of the current state of research practices and integrity in Denmark and selected additional countries, and subsequently to utilise the acquired knowledge to support efforts to strengthen research integrity such as the recent Danish Code of Conduct.

Standard Operating Procedures for Research Integrity (SOPs4RI)

SOPs4RI is a four-year (2019-2022), multi-partner project funded by the European Commission. SOPs4RI aims to stimulate transformational processes across European Research Performing Organisations and Research Funding Organisations (RPOs &RFOs). Specifically, SOPs4RI will establish an inventory of relevant Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Guidelines that RPOs &RFOs can draw on when developing governance arrangements promoting strong research integrity cultures.

Social Inequalities and Public Understanding of Science

This project, with Dr Burak Sonmez and PhD student Kiril Makarov, focuses on understanding how dimensions of inequality based on race, ethnicity, political beliefs and socioeconomic variables are associated with attitudes, beliefs, trust and knowledge about science and technology. We also consider the role of conspiracist thinking in shaping trust in science.

Mental Health and Wellbeing

This research uses structural equation and other modelling methods to investigate the mental and physical health of BAME, LBGTQ+ and older people. Collaborators include Paul Stoneman (Goldsmiths College), Darren Thiel (University of Essex), Chris Jacobi (University of Oxford) and Kirby King (Ministry of Justice)
