Abstract

The Excellence in Research Award profile for Chengjie Li highlights a research record associated with Jiangsu Ocean University and the field of biobased materials. The supplied bibliometric record reports 42 documents, 962 citations, and an h-index of 18. [1] These measures are commonly used as descriptive indicators of scholarly productivity and citation visibility, although they should be interpreted alongside research quality, originality, relevance, collaboration, and broader academic contribution. The profile therefore presents a balanced recognition of documented research activity rather than relying on a single metric.

Introduction

Biobased materials research addresses the development and application of materials derived wholly or partly from renewable biological resources. The field intersects materials science, chemistry, engineering, environmental sustainability, and industrial innovation. Research in this area can contribute to the development of alternatives to conventional material systems while addressing questions of resource efficiency, material performance, processing, durability, and environmental considerations.

Within this broader context, Chengjie Li’s stated subject area of biobased materials establishes a research profile connected with an interdisciplinary and sustainability-oriented area of materials research. The reported publication and citation indicators provide supporting evidence of an established scholarly record, while the interpretation of research excellence should also account for the substance and significance of individual contributions. [2]

Research Profile

Chengjie Li is affiliated with Jiangsu Ocean University, China, and is identified in the supplied information with the subject area of biobased materials. The available Scopus identifier is 56970167000. The record supplied for this recognition profile reports 42 documents and 962 citations, together with an h-index of 18. [1]

The combination of publication volume and citation activity suggests a sustained presence in the indexed research literature. However, bibliometric indicators are descriptive rather than definitive measures of research quality. Citation practices can vary between disciplines, publication types, research communities, and time periods; consequently, the indicators are most appropriately considered as one component of a broader scholarly assessment. [2]

Research Contributions

The stated specialization in biobased materials places the research profile within an area that is relevant to the continuing development of renewable and bio-derived material systems. Research contributions in this field may involve material formulation, characterization, functional performance, processing, degradation behavior, or the integration of biological resources into advanced material applications. The specific contribution of individual publications should be evaluated from the underlying scholarly records rather than inferred solely from bibliometric measures.

  • Research specialization centered on biobased materials.
  • A documented body of 42 indexed research documents.
  • A reported citation count of 962, indicating measurable scholarly visibility.
  • An h-index of 18, reflecting repeated citation across a portion of the documented publication record.
  • Research positioning within an interdisciplinary materials field associated with renewable and sustainable resource development.

Publications

The supplied information establishes a total of 42 documents associated with the researcher’s Scopus record. [1] Because individual publication titles, journals, publication years, author lists, and DOI identifiers were not supplied in the source data, this article does not assign specific publications or DOI records to the researcher without independent verification. Such bibliographic details should be retrieved from the relevant indexing or publisher records before being used for formal citation.

For academic evaluation, publication assessment may consider peer-review status, journal or conference venue, originality, methodological rigor, reproducibility, collaboration, citation context, and relevance to the research field. Bibliometric databases can support this evaluation but should not be treated as a substitute for qualitative scholarly review. [2]

Research Impact

The reported 962 citations and h-index of 18 provide quantitative indicators of the visibility of the documented research output. [1] Citation counts can indicate that published findings have been referenced by subsequent scholarly work, while an h-index captures a combination of publication productivity and citation frequency. These measures, however, do not independently establish societal, technological, industrial, or environmental impact.

In the context of biobased materials, research impact may extend beyond academic citations to include material development, technology transfer, sustainable resource utilization, industrial application, collaboration, and contribution to future research. Evidence for such outcomes should be assessed through documented projects, patents, adopted technologies, collaborations, policy or industry engagement, and other verifiable records where available.

Award Suitability

Based on the information supplied for this profile, Chengjie Li presents several characteristics relevant to consideration for an Excellence in Research Award. The researcher’s affiliation with Jiangsu Ocean University, specialization in biobased materials, documented publication record, citation activity, and h-index collectively provide a measurable basis for academic recognition. [1]

  • Research Strength: A clearly identified specialization in biobased materials within an interdisciplinary materials research environment.
  • Scholarly Record: The supplied record contains 42 documents and 962 citations.
  • Research Visibility: An h-index of 18 provides an additional quantitative indicator of citation reach.
  • Academic Relevance: Biobased materials research is connected to continuing scientific interest in renewable resources and sustainable material development.
  • Evaluation Consideration: Final award assessment should incorporate verified publications, originality, research quality, academic leadership, collaboration, and demonstrable impact in addition to bibliometric indicators.

Conclusion

Chengjie Li’s supplied research profile reflects an established scholarly record in biobased materials, supported by 42 documents, 962 citations, and an h-index of 18. [1] These indicators provide a useful quantitative foundation for recognition under an Excellence in Research Award, while comprehensive evaluation should consider the quality, originality, relevance, and verified impact of the underlying research.

The profile is associated with the International Research Awards on Network Science & Graph Analytics and provides a structured academic recognition summary based only on the information supplied. Additional publication-level evidence may be incorporated when verified bibliographic records are available.
