Research Excellence Award
Ali Al-Shamli is a researcher affiliated with Sohar University in Oman whose academic profile is associated with the field of Public Health. The Research Excellence Award article presents a structured overview of the researcher’s bibliometric indicators, scholarly contributions, research visibility, and relevance to research recognition. The supplied Scopus profile reports 12 documents, 114 citations, and an h-index of 5. These indicators provide a quantitative starting point for examining publication activity and citation impact, while a comprehensive assessment also requires consideration of research quality, methodological rigor, originality, and relevance to public health priorities.

Abstract
This article provides an academic profile of Ali Al-Shamli, affiliated with Sohar University, Oman, in the subject area of Public Health. It summarizes the supplied bibliometric information and outlines considerations relevant to evaluating scholarly activity and research excellence. The reported Scopus indicators comprise 12 documents, 114 citations, and an h-index of 5. These values offer a snapshot of publication output and citation performance at the time the profile information was recorded. They do not, on their own, establish the quality, originality, or practical effectiveness of individual studies. [1] [3]
Keywords
Ali Al-Shamli; Research Excellence Award; Public Health; Sohar University; Oman; scholarly publications; citation analysis; research impact; bibliometrics; academic recognition; The Scientist Global Awards; research assessment.
Introduction
Academic recognition programmes provide a framework for highlighting researchers’ contributions and encouraging continued scholarly engagement. Research excellence, however, is multidimensional. Publication and citation indicators can help describe research activity, but their meaning varies by discipline, publication age, collaboration patterns, and citation practices. Responsible research assessment therefore combines quantitative evidence with qualitative examination of the work itself. [3] [4]
Research Profile
Ali Al-Shamli is identified in the supplied information as being affiliated with Sohar University in Oman, with Public Health listed as the subject area. The researcher’s bibliographic identity is associated with Scopus Author ID 38960897200 and ORCID 0000-0001-6187-4009. These identifiers support discovery and differentiation of scholarly records across academic platforms. Researchers and readers should consult the respective profiles to verify current affiliation details, publication records, and any subsequent changes to the indexed information. [1] [2]
Research Contributions
The supplied information identifies Public Health as the researcher’s subject area but does not provide a verified list of individual studies or their findings. Consequently, specific projects, research methods, public health interventions, or policy outcomes cannot be attributed to Ali Al-Shamli on the basis of the available profile details alone. A reliable account of research contributions would require reviewing the researcher’s indexed publications and the evidence reported in each work. [3] [4]
Publications
The supplied Scopus profile information reports 12 documents associated with the researcher. This figure represents the reported indexed document count and does not, by itself, indicate the types of documents, their individual publication dates, or their subject-specific findings. The Scopus author profile is the primary supplied reference for examining the associated bibliographic record. [1]
Research Impact
The supplied bibliometric profile reports 114 citations and an h-index of 5. Citation counts provide a quantitative indication of how often indexed scholarly works have been cited within a particular database. The h-index combines publication productivity and citation frequency by identifying a set of papers that have each received at least a corresponding number of citations. These measures can help describe a research record, but neither captures every dimension of academic quality or societal benefit. [1] [5]
Award Suitability
The Research Excellence Award recognition theme is relevant to an academic profile that documents research activity, scholarly outputs, and potential contributions to a scientific discipline. For Ali Al-Shamli, the supplied information establishes an institutional affiliation, a Public Health subject classification, and bibliometric indicators of 12 documents, 114 citations, and an h-index of 5. These details can form part of an initial profile review but are not sufficient, on their own, to determine eligibility, merit, or award selection. [1] [6]
Conclusion
A comprehensive evaluation of research excellence should extend beyond bibliometric indicators to include publication quality, methodological rigor, originality, research integrity, and documented relevance to public health. The Research Excellence Award theme provides a context for organizing these considerations, while any formal award decision must be established through verified programme information. [1]
