Selected publications
This is only a selection of recent publications. Please see my Google Scholar page, my ORCID or this list for a more complete list (including non-OA opinion pieces, further reviews, collaborative papers and older publications).
Most of my publications are available as Open Access articles. For those case that are not, there is generally a freely available preprint out there. If you are interested in the published, officially peer-reviewed version of an article, but do not have access to it, please do not hesitate to contact me. I'm always happy to help.
