Roberto Cruz Martinez, Ph.D. (R.R.)
I work as information specialist for the University Library. Supporting mainly the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS), as well as the University College Maastricht (UCM) and the University College Venlo (UCV).
I began my career in academia as a scientific researcher, but have by now shifted to focus on the librarian supporting role. In this position I have accumulated experience in a wide variety of topics: theory on information literacy; the effective use of search tools and databases with scientific information; Open Access and Open Science practices and policies; and my specialty: the scientific method of systematic literature reviews.
I am a trained psychologist, specialised in the areas of human performance, health, and well-being. I obtained my PhD degree at the University of Twente. My research focused on how digital technologies can support the self-care behaviours of individuals with cardiovascular conditions. I have two master degrees, one in health psychology & technology at the University of Twente, and another in sport psychology at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL), in Mexico. At the UANL I also obtained my bachelor's degree in psychology with a specialisation in social psychology.
