The available bibliometric record indicates 20 indexed documents and 124 citations, with an h-index of 7. [1]

The h-index is a commonly used bibliometric measure intended to capture both publication productivity and citation influence. It should, however, be interpreted alongside the number and type of publications, field-specific citation practices, authorship patterns, publication venues, and the period over which research has been conducted. [3]

Research Contributions

The available information supports a description of Thakur’s contribution primarily at the level of documented scholarly output in Plant Sciences. The 20 recorded documents demonstrate a body of academic publication activity, while 124 citations indicate that the indexed work has received subsequent scholarly attention. [1]

A complete qualitative assessment of research contributions would require examination of the individual publications, research questions, methodologies, datasets, collaborations, publication venues, and demonstrated applications. Accordingly, the bibliometric indicators should be regarded as supporting evidence rather than a complete measure of scientific quality or societal significance. [3]

  • Documented scholarly activity in Plant Sciences.
  • A Scopus-indexed publication record comprising 20 supplied documents.
  • Citation activity represented by 124 supplied citations.
  • An h-index of 7 within the supplied Scopus profile.
  • Academic affiliation with the Central University of Himachal Pradesh.

Publications

The supplied information does not include the titles, journals, publication years, authorship details, or Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) of Palak Thakur’s individual publications. The Scopus profile nevertheless reports 20 documents, which can serve as the available quantitative publication record for this recognition profile. [1]

Individual publication-level evaluation should be conducted using the relevant bibliographic records and, where applicable, persistent identifiers such as DOIs. DOI records can assist in uniquely identifying scholarly publications and linking readers to publisher or registration information.

Research Impact

On the supplied bibliometric record, Palak Thakur has accumulated 124 citations across 20 documents, together with an h-index of 7. These figures indicate measurable citation visibility within the indexed scholarly literature. [1]

Citation-based indicators can be useful for describing research visibility, but they do not independently establish the originality, methodological quality, reproducibility, practical application, or societal impact of research. Bibliometric interpretation is also affected by disciplinary citation patterns, database coverage, publication age, and collaboration practices. [3]

Award Suitability

Based on the information supplied, Palak Thakur presents a profile that is relevant for consideration under the Women Researcher Award associated with the World Science Awards. The strongest documented elements are the researcher’s disciplinary alignment with Plant Sciences, affiliation with a university-level research institution, and measurable scholarly output represented by 20 documents, 124 citations, and an h-index of 7. [1]

Award suitability should ultimately be determined through the applicable award criteria and a complete review of the nominee’s research record. Additional evidence such as publication quality, originality, research leadership, collaborations, mentoring, grants, patents, applications, community contribution, and documented influence may be considered where required. Bibliometric measures should complement rather than replace qualitative peer assessment. [3]

  • Disciplinary relevance: Plant Sciences.
  • Institutional affiliation: Central University of Himachal Pradesh.
  • Publication record: 20 supplied documents.
  • Citation record: 124 supplied citations.
  • Research visibility indicator: h-index of 7.
  • Further qualitative evidence should be reviewed before final award determination.

Conclusion

Palak Thakur’s supplied academic profile documents research activity in Plant Sciences at the Central University of Himachal Pradesh. The reported Scopus indicators of 20 documents, 124 citations, and an h-index of 7 provide a quantitative basis for describing the researcher’s scholarly publication and citation record. [1]

Within the context of the Women Researcher Award, these indicators support consideration of the profile, while a final recognition decision should incorporate the complete award criteria and appropriate qualitative evidence. The available data establish bibliometric activity but do not, by themselves, constitute a comprehensive assessment of research quality or broader impact.
