This is the homepage of Philipp Schaer. Currently I am with GESIS doing research in the project Value-Added Services for Information Retrieval (IRM) funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG. I am actively working on my dissertation on “Non-Nextual Ranking Based on Power-Law”. Feel free to have a look on my publications list to get an overview over my research topics.

My current projects are related to Search Term Recommenders, bibliometric-based ranking and I am an enthusiastic Grails hacker. Before that I implemented SSOAR the Social Science Open Access Repository. Besides that I did some teaching in human computer interactions and usability at University of Koblenz. I still supervise students in their theses.
