SPEAKERS
David A. Pendlebury joined the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), now
Thomson Reuters, in 1983, after graduate studies in ancient history. He began as
a translator and indexer and later worked with ISI’s founder Eugene Garfield on
personal research projects. In 1987, he developed and edited the research pages
of the newspaper The Scientist. Two years later, he joined the company’s research
department, under Henry Small, to launch the newsletter Science Watch, now in
its 23rd year.
For twelve years, until 2004, David was manager of the department’s contract
research services for government agencies, universities, corporations, and
science publishers worldwide, during which time contract research projects
increased significantly. With Henry and other departmental staff, he designed
and developed Essential Science Indicators, a primary database for quantitative
analysis of performance and trends in global research.
David now serves as a consultant to Thomson Reuters on bibliometric analysis.
He has also written on research metrics and evaluation for the Times Higher
Education magazine and a variety of other publications.
