Scholar Snapshot

Elinor Ostrom was an American political economist and Nobel Laureate (2009) who fundamentally changed how we understand commons governance. Her research showed how communities can effectively manage shared resources through self-organizing institutions, challenging the prevailing view that common-pool resources require state regulation or privatization. She was a professor at both Indiana University and Arizona State University.

Examples: bibliometrics, meta-research, citation context, research integrity.
