The idea of establishing a research group emerged more than fifteen years ago. At that time, the first concept was formulated, together with a vision and initial guidelines for future work. It then required time to acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, experience, reputation, and resources. Following a series of jointly published papers, the decision was made to take an additional step by founding the BIOS Research Group Tuzla.
The group brings together experts from applied physics, medical physics, medicine, geography, international law, mathematics, computer science, and scientometrics. All members are distinguished professionals in their respective fields, with notable scientific and academic careers in both the public and private sectors. They have worked on various international projects, clinical studies, strategic initiatives, and industry-based projects. Importantly, they have selflessly dedicated their expertise to advancing science and strengthening scientific institutions within the broader community.
Members of the group have held, or currently hold, significant positions in public and private institutions, and possess substantial managerial and leadership experience that contributes to the development of the group, science, and society as a whole. The core members have collaborated over the past fifteen years on the implementation of projects, publications, and the development of new science metrics systems, such as the Z-score.
Although not all members were born in Tuzla, it was in this city that they met, worked, and achieved their most significant results. The overarching aim of the group is to promote science, knowledge, and universal values, while taking an additional step forward in all their professional and academic endeavors.
