Ben McLeish from Digital Science at VŠE: There’s a War on For Your Research

Not all research collaboration is safe, beneficial or purely a collaborative exercise. This lecture covers the emergence and growth of the area of “Research Security”. It covers the information indicators that betray high-risk research, gives an overview of organisations that are tracking high risk organisations, and presents some examples of information security breaches in the research world that made the headlines – as well as those that didn’t.

Ben Mcleish is Sales Manager for Altmetric and Dimensions and has been at Digital Science since 2014. He specialises in analysis of research security risk and foreign interference, research impact and knowledge transfer and mobilisation. He has previously worked at Wiley, ProQuest and the American Chemical Society, as well as in media monitoring services.
