Pölönen Janne

Secretary General

Description

I work as the Secretary General of Publication Forum at the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies. Since 2010, I have participated in the development of community-curated national classification of peer-reviewed journals and book publishers (Publication Forum), which supports the performance-based research funding system of Finnish universities. I have training in history (Lic.Phil.), specialising in Roman law and society research. My recent research is in the fields of research evaluation, bibliometrics, scholarly communication, open science and learned societies. I am also involved in policy work, including the Helsinki Initiative on Multilingualism in Scholarly Communication, the National recommendation for the responsible evaluation of a researcher in Finland, and EOSC Co-creation project on Making FAIReR Assessments Possible. I coordinate a CoARA Working-Group on Multilingualism and Language Biases in Research Assessment and serve as member of the CoARA Steering Board.
