Research focus
Susanne’s research aims at contributing to the organization of scientific knowledge production and dissemination by investigating individual, organizational, and ecosystem-level antecedents, contingencies, and consequences of open and collaborative practices in science. She is particularly interested in a contingent understanding of the value created and captured from open and collaborative scientific knowledge production.
