Assuming you have found out who I am and
what I do, it means you already
know you are on the page of a PhD coordinator. Through this website,
I want to give you the opportunity to get to know my academic
profile while providing you with enough information to help you take
the step towards the admission competition at the Doctoral School of
Exact Sciences and Natural Sciences where I am active.
Doctoral studies represent only the beginning of a career in
research, with the PhD diploma being the document that will allow
you to access a job in this field. Consequently, you can work in the
national or international university system or in a research
institute.
Science means someone's ability to push the boundaries of knowledge,
even if only by a small step. Science means hypotheses that the
researcher manages to demonstrate. The methods that a researcher
will use are their working tools. The end product of science is the
publication. A scientific article becomes a finished product when it
has been accepted by a specialty journal. The journal is an entity
that operates with manuscripts submitted by authors, which it
subjects to evaluation, and then publishes and preserves as
scientific articles. The difference between science and anything
else is that science supports peer review, which is a process of
verification and filtering of manuscripts by other experts. The
performance of a scientific journal is given by the number of
citations its works gather over a period of time (usually the last
two years) compared to the number of published items in the same
period. The indexing of a journal in the
Web
of Science Core Collection database (Science Citation
Index Expanded, Emerging Sources Citation Index) guarantees this
process. Web of Science provides scientometric indicators for
journals and authors through ResearcherID.
