April 2006
Henk's first visit to Spain was in 2006. On April 26 a seminar was held at the Faculty of Library Science with the participation of: Henk F Moed, Ed Noyons and Clara Calero. HFM's presentation was the following: "Potentialities and limitations of the use of bibliometric indicators in research evaluation".
April 2007
HFM starts a 3 month research stay with the EC3 research group for the preparation of the 11th International Conference of the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics 2007 to be held in Madrid on 25th to 27th of June. Henk was the program chair of the conference. DTS worked on the preparation of the conference proceedings.
HFM participates in Granada in the Seminar "Initiatives for the bibliometric evaluation of institutions" (11, 12 April). His talk on Open Access and impact Henk brought up his controversy with Stevan Harnad about whether Open Access increases citation or not. Moed showed studies demonstrating that Open Access does not increase citation but simply accelerates it.
May 2007
Henk participates as an examiner in the doctoral thesis of DTS. Subsequently he writes a review of the thesis in the journal EPI.

October 2007 - Febrary 2008
During the period 15/10/2007 - 28/02/2008 DTS carries out a research stay at CWTS under the direction of HFM. "Library catalog analysis" is selected as a research topic: the possibilities of using online catalogs to determine the visibility of books are explored. Probably one of the first altmetrics before altmetrics.
September 2008
We publish our first results related to the use of catalogs in bibliometric contexts.October 2008:

January 2009
HFM and DTS finally managed to publish our results in the first issue of the newly launched "Journal of Informetrics".

October 2015
Henk returns to Granada to give a lecture at the invitation of the Bibliometrics Unit (directed by DTS at that time).
Does open access publishing increase citation or download rates?”
The conference provided an overview of open access to science with a focus on its effects on the impact of publications. He discussed "Open Access Citation Advantage" and presented preliminary results on the impact of open access journals based on Google Scholar data. Source

DTS and NRG last met Henk on September 29th where they went to Henk's favourite place in Granada, famous for its fried fish where he shared his plans and we had the opportunity to interview him.
Henk's legacy to the Granada team
Henk was not only a friend to us, but he was also a mentor, whose influence went beyond the joint activities we did together, but inspired our future work:
Evaluative bibliometrics and the notion of policy context
Proto-altmetrics: Library Catalog Analysis and the development of new indicators
Scientific mobility and the use of bibliometric methods
Institutional evaluation and science policy
And for this we will be always indebted to him
