Introduction

Academic research contributes to knowledge development through systematic investigation, publication, and scholarly communication. Research profiles provide useful information about an author’s institutional affiliation, subject classification, publications, and citation activity. Kock Lim Tan’s Scopus-indexed record identifies an affiliation with UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College and a subject classification in Management and Accounting. Bibliometric indicators can help describe the visibility of scholarly work, although they should be interpreted alongside research quality, originality, and disciplinary context rather than independently as measures of academic excellence.[1]

Research Profile

Kock Lim Tan’s research profile is associated with UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College, an educational institution in Malaysia. The supplied Scopus author record identifies Management and Accounting as his subject area and reports three indexed documents. The profile also records 39 citations and an h-index of 2, providing a snapshot of publication and citation activity at the time the information was collected. These figures are database-dependent and may change as additional publications and citations are indexed.[1]

Research Contributions

Research contributions in Management and Accounting may involve organizational practices, financial decision-making, management processes, business performance, and related analytical perspectives. Evaluating an individual researcher’s contributions requires consideration of the subjects addressed, methodological approaches, findings, and relevance to existing scholarship. Tan’s indexed research record provides a starting point for examining his scholarly activity. Detailed attribution of particular discoveries, research themes, or practical applications requires verification against the full texts of his publications and their documented findings.[3]

Publications

The supplied Scopus profile lists three documents associated with Kock Lim Tan. Scholarly publications represent the principal means through which researchers communicate findings, establish research contexts, and contribute to disciplinary discussions. Publication records can be examined through bibliographic databases to identify article titles, co-authors, publication venues, and digital object identifiers. A comprehensive publication assessment should rely on verified bibliographic entries rather than inferred titles or incomplete metadata. His author profile provides a searchable source for reviewing the indexed publications and their associated citation information.[1]

Research Impact

Citation counts and the h-index are commonly used bibliometric indicators to describe scholarly visibility. The reported 39 citations suggest that publications attributed to Tan have received citations within indexed scholarly literature, while an h-index of 2 indicates that at least two publications have received two or more citations each under the applicable database calculation. Such indicators are influenced by publication age, disciplinary citation practices, database coverage, and collaboration patterns. They complement, but do not replace, qualitative assessment of originality, rigor, and broader academic or professional significance.[2]

Award Suitability

The International Invention Awards provides an event context for presenting research-related recognition. Tan’s institutional affiliation and indexed scholarly record offer information that may be considered when documenting an academic profile for an award-related presentation. Appropriate recognition assessments should examine verified research outputs, originality, documented achievements, and the criteria established by the award organizers. Bibliometric indicators alone cannot establish award eligibility, selection, or receipt of an award. Any claim concerning nomination, selection, or winning status should be supported by official event documentation or independently verifiable evidence.[3]

Conclusion

Kock Lim Tan is a researcher affiliated with UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College, Malaysia, with a Scopus-indexed profile in Management and Accounting. The supplied bibliometric information records three documents, 39 citations, and an h-index of 2. These indicators summarize aspects of his indexed scholarly activity and provide a foundation for further examination of his publications and research contributions. A balanced assessment of research excellence requires bibliometric evidence together with qualitative evaluation of published work, research significance, and verified academic achievements.[1]
