JOSE RAMON BERTOMEU SÁNCHEZ is senior lecturer at the University of Valencia and director of the Institute for the History of Medicine and Science. He has been founding member of the STEP (Science and Technology in the European Periphery) group and editor of Ambix book reviews. His publications included papers, edited volumes and books on the history of science education, chemistry textbooks, scientific popularization, material culture of science and nineteenth-century chemistry in France and Spain. During the last decade, his research was focused on nineteenth-century forensic medicine. He has written several studies on the biography of the Spanish-French toxicologists Mateu Orfila (1787-1853). He has also worked on the emergence of scientific policing in twentieth-century Spain, particularly on the works of Federico Olóriz and Antonio Lecha-Marzo. He has published (with Agustí Nieto-Galan), Chemistry, Medicine and Crime: Mateu Orfila (1787-1853) (Science History Publications, 2006); “Popularizing Controversial Science: A Popular Treatise on Poisons by Mateu Orfila (1818)” (Medical History, 2009); (with J. Vidal), Mateu Orfila: Autobiografia i Correspondència (IME, 2011); “Animal Experiments, Vital Forces and Courtrooms: Mateu Orfila, François Magendie and the Absorption of Poisons” (Annals of Science, 2012); 'Managing Uncertainty in the Academy and the Courtroom: Normal Arsenic and Nineteenth-Century Toxicology' (Isis, 2013). And the book is “The Truth about the Lafarge affair: Science, Justice and Law in Nineteenth-Century France” (In Spanish, Barcelona, 2015). One of his last research project is “Living in a Toxic World” (1800-2000) which covers several aspects of the regulation of toxic risks in Spain and France during the last two centuries (HAR2015-66364-C2-2-P).

Gregorio González Alcaide is a full professor at the Department of the History of Science and Library & Information Sciences, in the School of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Valencia. Having completed his PhD in Library & Information Sciences at the University of Valencia in 2010, Dr. González Alcaide has been teaching courses since 2009 on Bibliometrics, Research methods and techniques, and Information sources to students from the areas of social sciences and health sciences. He has led different teaching innovation projects to promote knowledge on bibliometrics and other social science methodologies along with skills in writing and academic communication. He has also worked to raise awareness on the importance of academic honesty, both among students and at the researcher level, to discourage behaviors like plagiarism and to foster respect for the ethical principles that must guide the research and publication process. Dr. González Alcaide regularly participates in specialized courses and post-graduate teaching related to processes for evaluating research activities. His main line of research has focused on the study of scientific collaboration by means of bibliometrics and social network analysis as research methodologies. His studies have aimed to determine the extent of cooperative practices, structural properties, and the characteristics of scientific networks at different analytical levels (authors, institutions, and countries) and in different disciplines or areas of knowledge. He has also investigated cooperative practices as a process and researchers’ perceptions with regard to this phenomenon, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches based on surveys and interviews. Other lines of research have focused on identifying subject areas and intellectual structures (documents, reference authors, research groups) that have laid the foundation for the development of knowledge in different scientific disciplines. These studies have employed methodologies like analyses of citations, co-citations, bibliographic coupling, co-words, and research clusters. Specifically, his papers have characterized the development of research in the area of Library & Information Sciences. In relation with the management of research activities, he has participated in the organization of different scientific congresses and is an editor at the journal Heliyon (Cell Press, Elsevier), in addition to collaborating regularly as a reviewer for prestigious journals like Scientometrics.

PEREZ CRIADO, SILVIA PI-Invest Formacio Predoc Ministeri	Institut Interuniversitari López Piñero (Universitat de València) silvia.perez-criado@uv.es	Personal file	Biography
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the López Piñero Interuniversity Institute of the University of Valencia, where I recently defended my thesis on the use, regulation, and risks of DDT for agricultural workers in Spain from 1939 to 1986. My research examines the implementation and impact of this pesticide, exploring its application in various contexts and evaluating both the policies and social reactions associated with it. The study employs a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses environmental history, the history of chemistry, and the history of medicine. It also draws on the new political sociology of science and studies on the production of knowledge and ignorance. In my doctoral research, I utilized a wide range of documentary sources, including contemporary scientific publications and government archives. Since 2023, I have served as the secretary of the Working Party on the History of Chemistry. Between 2020 and 2024, I acted as a Student Ambassador for the Society for the History of Alchemy and Chemistry (SHAC). My academic background includes a Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry from the University of Granada, a Master’s in History of Science and Scientific Communication (with an extraordinary award) from the University of Valencia, and a Master’s in Science Education from the University of Granada. I have been awarded a four-month fellowship from the Science History Institute in Philadelphia and received two New Scholar Awards from SHAC, among other accolades. My upcoming challenges include a postdoctoral project focused on studying the development of the pesticide chemical industry in Spain, as well as a postdoctoral stay at the CIUHCT in Lisbon, where I will conduct a comparative analysis of pesticide use in the Iberian Peninsula. Additionally, I plan to continue contributing to the dissemination of the history of science through digital platforms and other initiatives.
