He has written on Electronic Solutions to the Problems of Monograph Publishing, Securing Authenticity of Scholarly Paternity and Integrity and most recently on Open Access with special reference to funding models. At UCL he has been the organiser of a number of events including the UCL Bloomsbury conferences. The latest conference was on data and the role of the information professional.
