Abstract

This academic recognition profile presents Ya-Chen Tina Shih in relation to the Innovative Research Award and the International Invention Awards. The supplied record associates Shih with UCLA and Economics, reporting 543 documents, 25,311 citations, and an h-index of 62. These indicators provide a quantitative description of scholarly activity and citation visibility, while the ORCID identifier supports persistent researcher identification. [1] The profile therefore emphasizes documented research activity, institutional affiliation, bibliographic indicators, and researcher identification rather than making unsupported claims about individual achievements, award decisions, or specific research findings. ORCID provides an additional standardized mechanism for distinguishing researchers across scholarly systems and publications. [2]

Keywords

Innovative Research Award, Ya-Chen Tina Shih, UCLA, Economics, scholarly research, research impact, citation analysis, h-index, academic publications, ORCID, International Invention Awards.

Introduction

Research recognition commonly considers scholarly productivity, influence, originality, and documented contributions within a field. Citation counts and h-index values can describe aspects of academic visibility, although they should be interpreted alongside publication quality, research context, and disciplinary practices. [3] This profile applies that context to the supplied record for Ya-Chen Tina Shih.

Research Profile

The supplied profile identifies Ya-Chen Tina Shih with UCLA and the Economics subject area. It records 543 documents, 25,311 citations, and an h-index of 62. These figures are presented as the provided bibliometric record and should be understood as indicators rather than comprehensive measures of research quality. ORCID identifier 0000-0001-7290-3864 provides a persistent scholarly identity reference. [1] [2]

Research Contributions

Within an Economics-focused academic profile, research contributions may encompass empirical analysis, theoretical development, applied research, methodological advancement, and dissemination of scholarly findings. The available input does not specify individual projects or findings, so this profile does not attribute particular discoveries to Shih without supporting publication-level evidence. The documented record instead establishes substantial scholarly activity.

Publications

The supplied record reports 543 documents associated with the researcher. Publication counts can include different forms of scholarly output depending on the indexing system, and therefore should not automatically be interpreted as 543 peer-reviewed journal articles. Detailed publication titles, journals, dates, and DOI identifiers were not supplied for this profile. Bibliographic verification should use authoritative scholarly records where available. [1]

Research Impact

The reported citation total of 25,311 and h-index of 62 indicate a substantial level of citation visibility within the supplied record. Citation metrics are influenced by field size, publication age, collaboration patterns, and indexing coverage, so they are best considered alongside qualitative evidence. [3] [4] Accordingly, these values provide context for recognition without independently establishing research excellence.

Award Suitability

The Innovative Research Award is presented here as a recognition category within the International Invention Awards. Based on the supplied profile, documented scholarly activity, citation visibility, institutional affiliation, and researcher identification provide relevant background for consideration. Final award suitability should depend on the official criteria, nomination materials, verified publications, originality of contributions, and independent evaluation rather than bibliometric indicators alone. [5]

Conclusion

Ya-Chen Tina Shih’s supplied academic profile records an affiliation with UCLA, a subject area of Economics, 543 documents, 25,311 citations, and an h-index of 62. These indicators establish a substantial bibliometric profile while requiring appropriate disciplinary interpretation. The ORCID identifier further supports persistent researcher identification. Award assessment should incorporate verified scholarly evidence and the applicable recognition criteria.
