Juan Pablo Pardo-Guerra is associate professor of sociology at the University of California, San Diego. He is the author of Automating Finance: Infrastructures, Engineers, and the Making of Electronic Markets (2019).

In this important and captivating book, Juan Pablo Pardo-Guerra applies his brilliant sociological and narrative talent to dissecting the social and intellectual consequences of the implementation of quantified measures in the evaluation of British social-scientific research. The outcome is dispiriting. We witness the capitulation of institutions of higher learning to monetary logics; the fragmentation of scholarly communities and the erosion of solidarity; and the flattening of knowledge and the depletion of creativity. The Quantified Scholar is an urgent, essential read by one the most imaginative and skilled scholars of his generation.
