Introduction

Research recognition commonly considers multiple dimensions of scholarly activity, including publication output, citation visibility, research contributions, collaboration, and sustained engagement with a scientific discipline. Bibliometric databases such as Scopus provide structured information that can be used to describe an author’s indexed publication and citation record. Such indicators are informative but do not independently establish the quality, originality, or societal value of individual research contributions. [1]

Within this context, the present profile describes Surakasi Raviteja as a Mechanical Engineering researcher affiliated with Vignan’s Institute of Information Technology. The supplied profile identifies 89 documents, 1,263 citations, and an h-index of 20. These figures are included as profile-level indicators and may change as databases are updated, publications are indexed, or citation records are revised. [1]

Research Profile

Surakasi Raviteja is associated with Vignan’s Institute of Information Technology and is identified in the supplied research information with the subject area of Mechanical Engineering. The profile includes a Scopus Author ID of 57222898698 and an ORCID identifier of 0000-0002-0786-0105, providing persistent identifiers through which scholarly records can be distinguished and connected across research information systems. [1] [2]

The supplied bibliometric record contains 89 documents, 1,263 citations, and an h-index of 20. These indicators describe different aspects of an indexed research record: documents represent indexed scholarly outputs, citations represent recorded references to those outputs, and the h-index combines publication and citation information according to a defined threshold. Because bibliometric measures vary by database, discipline, publication year, and indexing coverage, they are most appropriately considered alongside qualitative evidence. [1]

Research Contributions

The documented profile places the researcher’s primary subject area within Mechanical Engineering. On the basis of the information supplied for this article, the research record can be described through its publication activity, citation visibility, and continued representation in scholarly indexing systems. A complete assessment of individual contributions would require examination of the underlying publications, research methods, datasets, collaborations, and documented outcomes.

  • Development and dissemination of scholarly research within the stated Mechanical Engineering subject area.
  • Contribution to the indexed academic literature through a documented publication record.
  • Participation in a research ecosystem reflected by citation and scholarly indexing activity.
  • Maintenance of persistent researcher identifiers through Scopus and ORCID profiles.

The points above summarize the profile information available for this recognition page and should not be interpreted as claims about specific research findings that have not been independently documented in the supplied material.

Publications

The supplied profile reports 89 documents associated with the Scopus Author ID 57222898698. The number represents the indexed document count reported for the profile at the time of the supplied information. Individual publication titles, journals, publication years, co-authors, and DOI identifiers have not been provided in the source information for this article; therefore, no specific publication-level claims are made here. [1]

For publication-level verification, readers should consult the researcher’s indexed author record and persistent ORCID profile. These sources can provide a more detailed basis for examining publication metadata and researcher attribution. [1] [2]

Research Impact

The supplied bibliometric indicators provide a quantitative view of the researcher’s indexed scholarly visibility. A citation count of 1,263 and an h-index of 20 indicate that the profile has accumulated measurable citation activity within the database record supplied for this article. Such metrics can assist in describing research visibility, while their interpretation should account for disciplinary citation norms, publication age, database coverage, self-citation patterns, collaboration structures, and differences between research fields. [1]

Research impact can also extend beyond citation counts through methodological contributions, industrial or technological applications, educational value, collaboration, knowledge transfer, and other outcomes. Evidence for those dimensions should be evaluated from the underlying publications and documented research activities rather than inferred solely from bibliometric indicators.

Award Suitability

The Research Excellence Award profile recognizes the research record presented for Surakasi Raviteja within the context of the International Research Awards on Network Science & Graph Analytics. The supplied record identifies an established publication and citation profile in Mechanical Engineering, supported by 89 documents, 1,263 citations, and an h-index of 20. [1]

For an academic recognition process, the available profile indicators may be considered together with the quality and originality of publications, relevance of research contributions, scholarly collaborations, documented applications, consistency of research activity, and supporting evidence. The bibliometric information should therefore be treated as one component of a broader scholarly evaluation rather than as a substitute for peer assessment.

The award context and associated recognition information can be reviewed through the official event website. [4]

Conclusion

Surakasi Raviteja, affiliated with Vignan’s Institute of Information Technology, is presented in this academic recognition profile as a Mechanical Engineering researcher with a documented Scopus record comprising 89 documents, 1,263 citations, and an h-index of 20. The profile also includes Scopus Author ID 57222898698 and ORCID 0000-0002-0786-0105. [1] [2]

These indicators provide a concise description of the supplied scholarly record. A comprehensive academic assessment should additionally consider publication-level evidence, research originality, methodological rigor, collaboration, practical contributions, and broader research outcomes. The information presented here is intended as a structured academic recognition profile based on the supplied researcher data.
