Introduction

Academic recognition in medicine and dentistry may consider multiple dimensions of scholarly activity, including research output, publication records, citation performance, subject relevance, and the demonstrated contribution of research to a field. Bibliographic databases such as Scopus provide structured indicators that can assist in documenting publication and citation activity, while ORCID provides a persistent researcher identifier that helps distinguish individual scholars and connect their scholarly works. [1] [2]

Patrick McGinnis is identified in the supplied research information as being affiliated with the University of Maryland SOM and associated with Medicine and Dentistry. The available profile reports a Scopus record containing 9 documents and 5 citations, with an h-index of 1. [1] These figures describe the indexed bibliographic record available for the specified Scopus author profile and should be interpreted as indicators of documented scholarly activity rather than as a complete assessment of research quality.

Research Profile

The research profile of Patrick McGinnis is situated within the subject classification of Medicine and Dentistry. According to the supplied Scopus information, the author profile is associated with 9 indexed documents and 5 citations, resulting in an h-index of 1. [1] The profile is further connected to the persistent ORCID identifier 0000-0002-3820-5613. [2]

Research Contributions

The supplied information establishes a documented body of indexed scholarly activity associated with Patrick McGinnis. The record of 9 Scopus-indexed documents provides evidence of publication activity within the researcher’s indexed profile. [1] The association with Medicine and Dentistry places this work within a broad clinical and biomedical research context.

A precise assessment of individual research contributions requires examination of the titles, abstracts, methodologies, findings, co-authorship patterns, publication venues, and full-text research outputs. Because those details are not included in the supplied dataset, specific scientific findings or individual publication-level contributions are not attributed here. This approach avoids inferring research achievements that are not directly documented in the available profile information.

  • Documented scholarly activity in the Medicine and Dentistry subject area.
  • A Scopus-indexed publication record comprising 9 documents.
  • A recorded citation count of 5 in the supplied Scopus profile.
  • Persistent researcher identification through ORCID.

Publications

The supplied profile records 9 documents under Scopus Author ID 59216505900. [1] The available input does not provide the individual publication titles, journal names, publication dates, DOI identifiers, or article-level citation counts. Accordingly, no publication-specific bibliographic details are assigned without verification against the researcher’s indexed record.

For a complete publication assessment, the individual documents should be reviewed for authorship, research topic, publication venue, peer-review status, DOI information, citation activity, and relevance to Medicine and Dentistry. Such a review would provide a more detailed basis for evaluating the nature and influence of the researcher’s scholarly contributions.

Research Impact

The supplied Scopus profile reports 5 citations and an h-index of 1 for Patrick McGinnis. [1] These metrics provide quantitative indicators of the citation activity associated with the indexed author record. Citation counts can vary over time as databases are updated, and they should therefore be interpreted in conjunction with publication quality, field-specific citation practices, research contribution, and other qualitative evidence.

The h-index of 1 indicates that at least one indexed publication in the specified profile has received at least one citation according to the supplied record. [1] The metric alone does not establish the scientific quality or societal importance of individual research outputs. A balanced research-impact assessment should combine quantitative bibliometric evidence with examination of the substantive contribution of the underlying work.

Award Suitability

Patrick McGinnis may be considered for the Innovative Research Award based on the documented presence of scholarly research activity in Medicine and Dentistry, an indexed Scopus publication record, and a persistent ORCID research identity. [1] [2] The available record establishes a measurable publication and citation profile that can form part of an award evaluation.

Award suitability should, however, be determined using the complete evaluation criteria established by the World Science Awards. The supplied information does not independently document the originality, methodological significance, translational value, societal impact, or specific innovations associated with the researcher’s individual publications. Consequently, these characteristics should be verified through the submitted research materials and supporting evidence before a final award decision is made. [3]

Evaluation Dimension Available Evidence
Research Field Relevance Medicine and Dentistry
Publication Activity 9 Scopus-indexed documents
Citation Activity 5 citations
Bibliometric Indicator h-index 1
Researcher Identification ORCID 0000-0002-3820-5613

Conclusion

Patrick McGinnis is an identified researcher affiliated with the University of Maryland SOM and associated with the Medicine and Dentistry subject area. The supplied Scopus profile documents 9 documents, 5 citations, and an h-index of 1, while the ORCID record provides a persistent identifier for the researcher. [1] [2]

In the context of the Innovative Research Award, these indicators provide a documented starting point for evaluating research activity. A comprehensive award assessment should additionally consider the originality, quality, relevance, reproducibility, and broader significance of the underlying research outputs. The available information supports a neutral academic profile while avoiding conclusions that cannot be established from the supplied bibliographic data.
