Abstract

Partha Pratim Sahu is presented for consideration for the Innovative Research Award at the Indian Scientist Awards. The supplied profile identifies molecular plant pathology as the principal subject area and reports a substantial indexed publication and citation record. The Scopus author identifier provided for the profile is 15119678900. A public author record associated with this identifier currently identifies Partha Pratim Sahu as a professor at Tezpur University and provides an indexed research record, although the supplied nomination information describes the researcher as a PhD applicant at Birmingham University, UK. [1][2] This distinction illustrates the importance of evaluating the award submission against the applicant’s current institutional documentation and verified academic records.

Keywords

Molecular plant pathology; plant disease research; plant–microbe interactions; agricultural biotechnology; innovative research; scientific publications; research impact; bibliometrics; Scopus; Indian Scientist Awards.

Introduction

Molecular plant pathology combines molecular biology, genetics, microbiology, biochemistry, and plant science to investigate the mechanisms underlying plant diseases and host–pathogen interactions. Research in this field can support improved disease diagnosis, understanding of pathogen biology, crop protection, and development of sustainable approaches to agricultural productivity. Contemporary plant pathology increasingly integrates molecular and genomic approaches with conventional disease biology to examine interactions between plants and microorganisms.

The submitted profile places Sahu within a research-oriented academic framework and identifies molecular plant pathology as the relevant subject area. Because the publicly accessible Scopus-linked record associated with the supplied identifier also contains publications in electronics, sensing, materials, and related areas, the award assessment should distinguish between publications attributable to the researcher and the particular body of work being submitted for recognition. [1][2]

Research Profile

The supplied academic profile describes Sahu as a PhD applicant at Birmingham University in the United Kingdom and associates the research record with India. The provided Scopus identifier, 15119678900, offers a persistent bibliometric route for examining the publication record. A current ScienceDirect author record linked to the same identifier lists 158 documents and an h-index of 22, while an institutional research profile at Tezpur University reports a larger publication history and identifies Sahu as a professor in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. [1][2] These differences may arise from database update cycles, author-profile curation, or differing inclusion criteria.

The profile therefore presents a researcher with an established indexed publication record, while the specific relationship between the supplied subject area of molecular plant pathology and the broader indexed record should be verified from the nomination portfolio. Verification is particularly relevant where author names are shared across disciplines and institutions.

Research Contributions

The publicly indexed record associated with Scopus ID 15119678900 demonstrates interdisciplinary research activity. Examples include work involving biosensing, optical systems, microfluidic technologies, electrochemical materials, and agricultural or food-related sensing applications.[1][2] One peer-reviewed study involving Sahu examined an interdigital sensor for naringin quantification in pomelo juice, demonstrating the application of electronic sensing methods to an agricultural and food-analysis problem. [3]

Another indexed publication lists Sahu among the authors of research concerning the seasonal variation of phytochemical, antioxidant, and volatile composition in pomelo fruit. [4] Such work illustrates the potential intersection between plant-related research and analytical technologies. However, these publications should not automatically be classified as molecular plant pathology without evidence from the original research objectives and subject classification.

The record also includes research involving biological sensing and diagnostic applications. These examples indicate an interdisciplinary approach in which engineering, materials science, analytical methods, and biological applications may intersect. [1][3] For award evaluation, the strongest evidence of innovation would be the documented originality of the research question, methodological contribution, peer-reviewed dissemination, reproducibility, and demonstrable relevance to the stated research field.

Publications

The submitted record reports 160 documents and 1,850 citations. These values should be treated as the nomination data supplied for the award and may vary as bibliographic databases are updated. A public ScienceDirect author record associated with Scopus ID 15119678900 currently reports 158 documents and 1,795 citations from 1,342 documents, with an h-index of 22. [1] An institutional profile at Tezpur University reports a separate publication and citation snapshot, further demonstrating why bibliometric values should be dated when used for formal evaluation. [2]

  • Sahu, P. P. Compact component for integrated quantum optic processing. Scientific Reports, 2015. DOI: 10.1038/srep16276. [6]

The publications above are included as examples of works associated with the author record found through publicly indexed sources. They should not be interpreted as an exhaustive bibliography or as evidence that every listed publication belongs to molecular plant pathology.

Research Impact

Research impact can be assessed through several complementary indicators, including peer-reviewed publications, citation activity, methodological advances, interdisciplinary collaboration, technology development, and demonstrated application beyond the immediate research group. The supplied nomination data report 1,850 citations and an h-index of 22, indicating a substantial citation footprint; however, citation counts are database-dependent and should be interpreted with publication dates, field norms, and author attribution in mind.[3]

The indexed record provides examples of research connecting sensing technologies with biological and agricultural applications. For example, the pomelo-related studies demonstrate how analytical and electronic techniques can be applied to questions involving fruit composition and quality assessment.  Such interdisciplinary connections can be relevant to innovation-oriented award criteria when supported by evidence of originality, utility, dissemination, and adoption.

Award Suitability

Based on the supplied nomination information, the profile has characteristics that can be considered in an Innovative Research Award assessment, including a substantial indexed publication record, measurable citation activity, and evidence of interdisciplinary research. The Scopus-linked record provides an established bibliometric identity and an h-index of 22.

  • Research productivity: The submitted profile reports 160 documents, indicating sustained scholarly publication activity.
  • Research visibility: The submitted citation count of 1,850 and h-index of 22 provide quantitative indicators of scholarly visibility.
  • Interdisciplinary potential: Publicly indexed publications associated with the author record span biological, sensing, analytical, and engineering applications.
  • Innovation assessment: The award review should place particular emphasis on original methodology, scientific novelty, documented outcomes, peer-reviewed evidence, and relevance to the nominated research area.
  • Verification requirement: Current affiliation, subject-area alignment, authorship, publication metrics, and supporting documentation should be verified before a final award decision.

The suitability assessment is therefore best understood as an evidence-based recognition profile rather than a final adjudication. Final eligibility and award selection remain subject to the official criteria, documentation, and evaluation procedures of the Indian Scientist Awards.

Conclusion

The Innovative Research Award profile for Partha Pratim Sahu presents a researcher associated with a substantial indexed scholarly record and interdisciplinary scientific activity. The supplied information identifies molecular plant pathology as the subject area and provides bibliometric indicators of 160 documents, 1,850 citations, and an h-index of 22. Publicly available records associated with the supplied Scopus identifier provide additional evidence of an established research publication history, while also showing that the broader record extends beyond the nominated subject area. [1][2]

For a formal award assessment, the most appropriate approach is to evaluate the specific nominated research contributions against documented evidence of originality, scientific significance, methodological innovation, publication quality, research impact, and alignment with the award’s criteria. This approach maintains a neutral scholarly basis for recognition while allowing the submitted portfolio to demonstrate the researcher’s most relevant achievements.
