Productive Researcher is a new online series from the Postgraduate Peer Support Network Program (P2SN) aimed at encouraging researchers in Qatar to be intellectually productive through peer learning with leading academics around the world. In this series, we will learn and interact with these academics about their habits, procedures and thinking processes that make them the leaders in their field.

She is also currently serving a rotation with the National Science Foundation as the Program Director for the Science of Science and Innovation Policy program. Sugimoto's research expertise is broadly situated in the domains of science policy, scholarly communication and scientometrics. Simply speaking, she investigates the ways in which knowledge is produced, disseminated and rewarded, with a particular interest in issues of diversity and inclusion.

Her publication record is extensive and varied, including publications such as Nature, The Lancet, PLOS ONE, Social Studies of Science, JASIST and Scientometrics.
