Abstract

This article presents an academic recognition profile of Arpita Ghosh Mitra, affiliated with RGCIRC in India, in relation to the Innovative Research Award category of the Indian Scientist Awards. The profile summarizes available information regarding her subject area, publication record, citation indicators, and scholarly visibility. Physiotherapy research encompasses evidence-based approaches to functional recovery, rehabilitation, movement science, and patient-centered care, making systematic research and the dissemination of findings important components of academic and professional development. [2] The recognition profile is intended to provide a neutral overview of the available research indicators rather than an assessment of clinical effectiveness or a ranking of individual researchers.

Introduction

Research in physiotherapy contributes to the development and evaluation of interventions intended to improve mobility, function, independence, and quality of life. The field commonly draws upon clinical observation, rehabilitation science, biomechanics, exercise science, and outcome-based evaluation. As healthcare increasingly emphasizes evidence-informed practice, published research and scholarly communication provide mechanisms through which findings can be examined, compared, and incorporated into wider academic discussion. [2]

Within this context, the Innovative Research Award category provides a framework for recognizing researchers whose academic activities demonstrate engagement with research, knowledge generation, and disciplinary development. Consideration of research profiles may include publication records, citations, institutional affiliation, subject relevance, and the broader contribution of scholarly work to a field of study. [3]

Research Profile

Arpita Ghosh Mitra is affiliated with RGCIRC and is associated with physiotherapy as the identified subject area. The available Scopus-linked author information records two documents, 104 citations, and an h-index of 1. These indicators represent bibliometric data associated with the available author profile and should be interpreted in relation to database coverage, publication type, citation practices, and the characteristics of the relevant research field. [1]

• Affiliation with RGCIRC in India.
• Subject area identified as physiotherapy.
• Scopus author profile available under author identifier 56032630600.
• Available bibliometric information records 2 documents and 104 citations.
• Available h-index value recorded as 1.

Research Contributions

The research contribution profile associated with physiotherapy is situated within the broader objective of developing and evaluating approaches that support rehabilitation and functional health. Research in this discipline may address clinical assessment, therapeutic exercise, physical rehabilitation, functional outcomes, interdisciplinary care, and the translation of scientific evidence into professional practice. The contribution of individual studies is generally assessed through their methodological quality, relevance, reproducibility, scholarly discussion, and potential usefulness to subsequent research or practice. [2]

Based on the available profile information, Arpita Ghosh Mitra’s research activity forms part of the scholarly landscape represented through indexed publications and citations. Citation counts may indicate that published work has been referenced by other scholarly outputs, although citation metrics alone do not establish the quality, originality, or practical impact of research. Bibliometric indicators are therefore best considered alongside the subject context and the content of individual publications. [4]

Publications

The available Scopus author profile associated with Arpita Ghosh Mitra records two indexed documents. Publication records provide a structured basis for identifying scholarly outputs and their associated citation activity. For a complete and current listing of indexed documents, readers may consult the linked Scopus author profile directly. [1]

1. Indexed publication record associated with the Scopus author profile for Arpita Ghosh Mitra.
2. Additional indexed document listed within the available Scopus author record.

Where publication metadata includes a registered Digital Object Identifier, the DOI provides a persistent route to the corresponding scholarly record. DOI references should be consulted through the individual publication metadata or publisher record, as a DOI is specific to each article and should not be inferred when it is not explicitly available. The DOI system is maintained to support persistent identification and linking of scholarly content. [5]

Research Impact

The available profile records 104 citations for the indexed publication set. Citation information can provide one indication of scholarly attention, but its interpretation requires consideration of differences between disciplines, publication dates, database indexing practices, and patterns of citation. Responsible research assessment generally recommends that quantitative indicators be interpreted together with qualitative evidence and direct evaluation of research content. [4]

In physiotherapy and rehabilitation research, impact may extend beyond citation activity to include methodological influence, contribution to clinical knowledge, professional education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the potential application of evidence in healthcare settings. Such forms of influence may develop over time and are not fully represented by a single bibliometric indicator. [2]

Award Suitability

The available academic profile demonstrates identifiable research activity within the physiotherapy subject area and provides bibliometric information through an indexed Scopus author record. These elements offer a basis for consideration within an academic recognition framework such as the Innovative Research Award, subject to the event’s applicable nomination, evaluation, verification, and selection procedures. [1] [3]

Suitability for recognition is not determined solely by publication or citation totals. A balanced evaluation may consider the relevance of research, originality of approach, methodological standards, contribution to the discipline, scholarly dissemination, and evidence supporting the broader significance of the research activity. Final recognition remains dependent on the criteria and assessment procedures established by the awarding organization.

Conclusion

Arpita Ghosh Mitra’s available academic profile identifies an affiliation with RGCIRC, India, and a research association with physiotherapy. The linked Scopus record provides the reported bibliometric indicators of two documents, 104 citations, and an h-index of 1. In the context of the Innovative Research Award of the Indian Scientist Awards, this profile may be considered as part of a broader assessment of scholarly activity and research contribution. [1]

Continued research dissemination, transparent documentation of scholarly outputs, and engagement with evidence-based academic practice remain important for the development of physiotherapy and rehabilitation research. The interpretation of research achievements should remain grounded in verifiable evidence and appropriate disciplinary context.
