[1][2]

Abstract

Annasaheb Moholkar is a researcher affiliated with Shivaji University, Kolhapur, India, whose supplied scholarly profile is associated with Material Science. The profile reports 222 documents, 9,948 citations, and an h-index of 60. These indicators provide a quantitative overview of documented publication activity and citation impact. The Excellence in Scientific Research Award is presented in the context of sustained scientific research and academic contribution, with bibliometric information serving as one component of a broader assessment of scholarly activity. The interpretation of citation-based indicators should consider disciplinary practices, publication history, collaboration patterns, and the characteristics of the research field. [1][2]

Keywords

Annasaheb Moholkar; Shivaji University; Kolhapur; India; Material Science; scientific research; research productivity; bibliometrics; citation impact; h-index; academic recognition; Indian Scientist Awards.

Introduction

Material Science is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the relationships among material composition, structure, processing, properties, and performance. Research in this area can contribute to the development and characterization of materials for scientific and technological applications. Assessment of scholarly activity in such a broad field may involve multiple dimensions, including publication output, citation activity, collaboration, methodological contribution, and research relevance.

Bibliometric indicators are frequently used to summarize aspects of research performance. The h-index, for example, was introduced as an indicator combining publication productivity and citation impact, while subsequent research has emphasized that citation indicators should be interpreted in relation to disciplinary and career-specific contexts. [1][3]

Research Profile

The supplied profile identifies Annasaheb Moholkar with Shivaji University, Kolhapur, and associates the research activity with Material Science. The Scopus author profile supplied for this article uses author identifier 14822311700, while the supplied ORCID identifier is 0000-0002-1529-4094. These persistent identifiers provide mechanisms for distinguishing scholarly records and connecting publications with an individual researcher.

  • Affiliation: Shivaji University, Kolhapur
  • Country: India
  • Subject area: Material Science
  • Documents reported in the supplied profile: 222
  • Citations reported in the supplied profile: 9,948
  • h-index reported in the supplied profile: 60

Research Contributions

The available input establishes Material Science as the subject area associated with the researcher profile. It does not provide a complete publication-level inventory, individual paper titles, experimental methods, or specific research findings. Accordingly, the research contribution profile is described at the disciplinary and bibliometric level rather than attributing particular scientific discoveries or findings that are not documented in the supplied information.

The reported volume of 222 documents indicates an extensive body of indexed scholarly output in the supplied Scopus profile. Citation activity of 9,948 and an h-index of 60 provide additional quantitative indicators of the visibility of the indexed research record. Such metrics are descriptive measures and can complement, but do not replace, qualitative examination of research content and significance. [2][3]

Publications

The supplied Scopus profile reports 222 documents. Because individual publication records and titles were not included in the input data, this article does not assign specific papers, publication dates, journals, or DOI identifiers to the researcher. Readers seeking the indexed publication record should consult the linked author profile in the External Links section.

For scholarly evaluation, publication counts are most informative when considered alongside the nature of the publications, authorship patterns, venues, citation context, and disciplinary norms. Bibliometric research has documented substantial variation in citation practices among fields, making contextual interpretation important. [2]

Research Impact

The supplied profile records 9,948 citations and an h-index of 60. Citation counts reflect references made by subsequent indexed publications and therefore provide one measurable indication of the scholarly visibility of a research record. The h-index combines publication and citation dimensions and is intended to describe sustained citation activity across a set of publications. [1]

Citation indicators can be influenced by factors including field-specific citation behavior, publication age, collaboration, database coverage, and differences in indexing practices. Consequently, the reported metrics are best understood as quantitative profile information rather than as a standalone determination of scientific quality or societal impact. [2][3]

Award Suitability

Based on the supplied profile information, Annasaheb Moholkar has a documented affiliation with Shivaji University, Kolhapur, a stated research area in Material Science, and a substantial indexed publication and citation record. The reported 222 documents, 9,948 citations, and h-index of 60 provide quantitative information relevant to an academic recognition profile. These data are presented as supporting evidence for consideration under the Excellence in Scientific Research Award associated with the Indian Scientist Awards.

A comprehensive award assessment may additionally consider the quality and originality of individual research contributions, peer-reviewed publication venues, research leadership, collaboration, methodological contributions, and the broader significance of the work. Such qualitative dimensions cannot be established solely from the bibliometric figures supplied here. [2]

Conclusion

Annasaheb Moholkar is presented in the supplied researcher profile as a Material Science researcher affiliated with Shivaji University, Kolhapur. The reported Scopus record comprises 222 documents, 9,948 citations, and an h-index of 60. These figures provide a quantitative description of the indexed research record and form part of the information associated with consideration for the Excellence in Scientific Research Award. Interpretation of these indicators should remain contextual and should be complemented by examination of the underlying research contributions and publication record.
