Abstract

Mohamed Abdel-Aziz is an academic researcher at Arish University, Egypt, working within Fisheries and Aquaculture Science. His reported scholarly profile comprises 40 indexed documents, 429 citations, and an h-index of 12, providing measurable evidence of publication activity and citation visibility. The Innovative Research Award profile considers these bibliometric indicators alongside disciplinary relevance, research contribution, publication activity, and potential academic impact. His researcher identification is supported by a Scopus Author ID and ORCID record, enabling clearer attribution of scholarly outputs. The profile is presented neutrally to support academic recognition and transparent evaluation within aquaculture research and related agricultural science disciplines.

Keywords

Innovative Research Award; Mohamed Abdel-Aziz; Fisheries Science; Aquaculture Science; Arish University; Egypt; Scopus; ORCID; scholarly publications; citation impact; h-index; agricultural research; aquatic sciences; research recognition.

Introduction

Fisheries and aquaculture research addresses food production, aquatic-resource management, environmental sustainability, animal health, and technological development. Contemporary evaluation increasingly considers both research quality and measurable scholarly dissemination. Within this context, Mohamed Abdel-Aziz’s reported academic record offers a basis for examining research activity, disciplinary alignment, publication development, and citation visibility in relation to an innovative research recognition framework. [4]

Research Profile

Mohamed Abdel-Aziz is identified with Arish University and the subject area of Fisheries and Aquaculture Science. The supplied bibliometric profile records 40 documents, 429 citations, and an h-index of 12 under Scopus Author ID 57220512443. His ORCID identifier provides an additional persistent scholarly identity mechanism for distinguishing research outputs across publishing and indexing systems. [1] [2]

Research Contributions

The researcher’s stated disciplinary focus places his academic work within fisheries and aquaculture, a field encompassing aquatic organisms, production systems, resource utilization, and sustainable food development. A portfolio of 40 indexed documents indicates sustained scholarly publication activity, while citation accumulation provides a quantitative measure of how published research has been referenced within the scholarly literature. [1]

Publications

The supplied profile reports 40 scholarly documents associated with Scopus Author ID 57220512443. These publications should be interpreted through the researcher’s verified bibliographic records rather than through isolated citation counts. For formal assessment, publication titles, journals, years, authorship positions, DOI metadata, and subject relevance can be cross-checked against authoritative indexing and persistent researcher-identification services. [1] [2]

Research Impact

Research impact can be considered through scholarly citations, dissemination, disciplinary relevance, and the usefulness of findings to scientific or applied communities. The reported 429 citations and h-index of 12 indicate measurable citation visibility in the supplied profile. Such indicators are most appropriately considered alongside publication quality, contribution, collaboration, and research significance. [1]

Award Suitability

The reported academic affiliation, fisheries and aquaculture specialization, publication record, citation activity, and persistent researcher identifiers provide relevant evidence for consideration under an innovative research recognition category. Final award suitability should, however, be determined through the organizer’s published eligibility rules, documentary requirements, peer evaluation procedures, and independent verification of research outputs rather than bibliometric indicators alone.

Conclusion

Mohamed Abdel-Aziz’s supplied academic profile demonstrates an established research presence in Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, supported by reported publication and citation indicators and persistent scholarly identifiers. The combination of 40 documents, 429 citations, and an h-index of 12 provides a quantitative foundation for academic recognition, while detailed publication-level assessment remains necessary to establish originality, significance, and innovation.
