Keywords

Ertan Yildirim; Ataturk University; Turkey; sustainable research; research excellence; scholarly communication; Scopus; ORCID; citation analysis; h-index; World Green Energy Awards; Excellence in Research Award.

Introduction

Research recognition commonly considers documented scholarly activity, publication records, citation patterns, and the relevance of a researcher’s work to a defined field. Bibliographic databases such as Scopus provide structured indicators that can assist with identifying researchers and examining publication activity. ORCID provides a persistent identifier intended to distinguish researchers and connect their scholarly contributions.[1][2]

Research Profile

The available profile identifies Ertan Yildirim with Ataturk University in Turkey and associates the researcher with a sustainable subject area. The Scopus author identifier is 8720757200, while the ORCID identifier is 0000-0003-3369-0645. Together, these identifiers provide complementary mechanisms for locating and distinguishing scholarly records across research information systems.[1][2]

Research Contributions

The reported publication and citation indicators provide a quantitative description of Yildirim’s indexed research activity. A record of 161 documents indicates sustained scholarly publication within the indexed literature, while 5,079 citations and an h-index of 38 indicate measurable citation activity. These metrics should be interpreted within the scope, coverage, and updating practices of the relevant database [3]

Publications

The Scopus profile associated with author ID 8720757200 reports 161 documents. Because bibliographic records can change through indexing updates, corrections, author-profile revisions, and database coverage, publication counts are best treated as time-dependent indicators. The underlying Scopus record should therefore be consulted when a current publication list or document-level verification is required. [4]

Research Impact

Citation indicators offer one quantitative perspective on scholarly visibility and subsequent use of published research. The reported total of 5,079 citations and h-index of 38 can therefore be used to describe citation activity within the indexed record. Such metrics do not independently measure research quality, societal benefit, methodological rigor, or practical significance.[1][5]

Award Suitability

The Excellence in Research Award is presented in this profile as part of the World Green Energy Awards framework. Yildirim’s documented institutional affiliation, indexed research record, citation indicators, and stated sustainable subject area provide information relevant to a research-recognition profile. Final award decisions remain subject to the applicable nomination, review, eligibility, and evaluation procedures of the organizing body.[5]

Conclusion

Ertan Yildirim’s profile records an affiliation with Ataturk University and a Scopus-indexed research record comprising 161 documents, 5,079 citations, and an h-index of 38. The profile also identifies a sustainable subject area and provides ORCID and Scopus identifiers. These details offer a concise bibliographic basis for documenting the researcher’s academic recognition profile.[1][2]
