Wolfgang Joachim Emil Glänzel (born April 13, 1955) is a German statistician who is a full professor at KU Leuven, where he is also the director of the Centre for R&D Monitoring.[1] In 1999, he and Henk Moed received the Derek de Solla Price Memorial Medal from the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics (ISSI).[2] Currently, he is the editor-in-chief of Scientometrics, as well as secretary-treasurer of the ISSI.[3] In that role, he took the controversial decision to withdraw an article under pressure by a commercial publisher criticized in that paper and partly owned by the publisher of his journal.[4]

Born in Frankfurt (Oder), then part of East Germany, Glänzel was educated at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest and Leiden University.[1]
