I have been working in the Scientific Documentation
Service of the Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico S.Matteo of Pavia since 2009. In
these years I participated as a lecturer in several courses on Bibliometric
indicators and the main biomedical databases (PubMed, Embase, Web Of Science,
Cinahl). I am the Italian member of the EAHIL Council (European Association for
Health Information and Libraries) for the term 2019-2023 and co-chair of the
EAHIL Sub group: EVALUATION AND METRICS GROUP. I collaborate with the Biometry
and Statistics Unit in planning, conducting, and reporting systematic reviews
and meta-analyses. I carry out bibliographic searches on the main medical
databases for our physicians and nurses. I also promote library services
through talks, live tutorials, and community events, and we assist library
users in finding resources.
I participated as a lecturer in various seminars,
workshops, training, with presentations on Altmetrics, Bibliometrics, and
Social Media arguments. In 2016 I have become an Altmetrics Ambassador and I
attended all Altmetrics Conference.
During this year, I have also become a team member of
the European project call SUPPORT-E (SUPporting high-quality evaluation of
COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma thrOughouT Europe), about the use of convalescent
plasma in the hospitals, as a biomedical librarian.
