Innovative Research Award
Rashid Khan
Qassim University
Rashid Khan is a researcher affiliated with Qassim University in Saudi Arabia whose indexed research profile is associated with pest control and integrated pest management. The available bibliographic information records two Scopus-indexed documents, thirteen citations, and an h-index of one. His profile is considered here in the context of academic recognition and the Agri Scientist Awards, with emphasis on documented research activity rather than unsupported claims about distinction. Bibliographic identifiers, including Scopus and ORCID records, provide mechanisms for distinguishing the researcher and organizing evidence concerning scholarly output, visibility, and subject-area relevance for evaluation.
Abstract
Rashid Khan is affiliated with Qassim University in Saudi Arabia and has a research profile associated with pest control and integrated pest management. Available bibliographic records identify two Scopus documents, thirteen citations, and an h-index of one. These indicators provide a limited but verifiable basis for describing his indexed scholarly activity. The present article summarizes his research profile, publication record, documented bibliometric indicators, and potential relevance to the Agri Scientist Awards. It distinguishes recorded information from evaluative interpretation and avoids claims that cannot be independently established from the supplied researcher identifiers and academic profile information.
Keywords
Rashid Khan; Qassim University; Saudi Arabia; pest control; integrated pest management; agricultural research; Scopus; ORCID; scholarly publications; research impact; Agri Scientist Awards; academic recognition.
Introduction
Academic recognition commonly considers research relevance, publication activity, scholarly influence, and the relationship between a candidate’s work and an award’s subject area. In Khan’s case, the supplied profile identifies pest control and integrated pest management as the principal subject area. These fields have direct relevance to agricultural productivity and sustainable crop protection, although award decisions require independent assessment.
Research Profile
Khan’s identifiable scholarly profile is associated with Qassim University and the subject area of pest control and integrated pest management. His Scopus author identifier is 57200299958, while his ORCID identifier is 0000-0001-6097-098X. These persistent identifiers can support author disambiguation and provide a structured basis for reviewing his documented academic record and research outputs.
Research Contributions
The available information places Khan’s research within pest control and integrated pest management, an agricultural research domain concerned with managing pests through coordinated and context-sensitive approaches. The supplied record does not provide sufficient publication-level detail to characterize specific experimental methods, crops, organisms, interventions, or findings. Consequently, his contributions are described at the documented subject-area level.
Publications
The supplied Scopus information records two documents associated with the researcher and thirteen citations. These figures establish the existence of indexed scholarly output but do not, by themselves, describe the individual publications or their scientific findings. A complete publication assessment would require examination of article titles, journals, publication dates, authorship roles, abstracts, and persistent identifiers such as DOIs where available. [1]
Research Impact
The reported thirteen citations and h-index of one indicate measurable citation activity within the indexed record, while the two documented Scopus publications provide a relatively small publication base for quantitative interpretation. Citation counts can change over time and should be evaluated alongside publication quality, authorship contribution, venue, research relevance, and field-specific citation practices rather than treated as standalone measures.
Award Suitability
The research subject area identified for Khan is closely aligned with agricultural science and integrated pest management, making the profile thematically relevant to an agricultural research award. However, suitability for the Agri Scientist Awards cannot be established solely from bibliometric indicators. A formal evaluation should consider the award’s published eligibility criteria, nomination requirements, research originality, documented outcomes, and evidence of contribution.
Conclusion
Rashid Khan’s supplied academic profile identifies Qassim University as his affiliation and pest control and integrated pest management as his principal research area. The recorded Scopus indicators document two publications, thirteen citations, and an h-index of one. These data establish a concise scholarly profile, while fuller recognition should depend on verified publication-level evidence and the applicable award criteria.
