Guillaume Cabanac is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of Toulouse, France. He holds a PhD (2008) and a habilitation degree (2016) from the University of Toulouse. His interdisciplinary research on the quantitative study of science is at the crossroads between Information Retrieval, Digital Libraries, and Scientometrics. He serves on the editorial boards of Scientometrics and the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology (JASIST). His current work on the Problematic Paper Screener contributes to the identification and reporting of algorithmically generated and fraudulent papers published—often sold—by academic publishers. Cabanac was nicknamed ‘Deception sleuth’ in the Nature’s 10 listicle of ‘ten people who helped shape science in 2021.’
