Dr Böhm, in 2020, traded a research career for the position of the Head of Journal Publishing at Akadémiai Kiadó. All the experience she gained as an author, peer reviewer and Editorial Board member support her mission to harmonise the 200-year-old tradition of Akadémiai Kiadó with the present-day call for Open Science. Dr Böhm has a PhD in mathematical physics and a DSc degree in pure mathematics.
