Abstract

Mingfu Shao is affiliated with NAOC in China and is associated with the academic field of Physics and Astronomy. The supplied Scopus record identifies four documents, three citations, and an h-index of one, providing quantitative indicators of indexed scholarly activity. This profile examines the documented research record in relation to the Innovative Research Award associated with the International Invention Awards. The assessment considers the researcher’s affiliation, subject area, publication activity, citation record, and persistent researcher identification. These bibliometric indicators provide contextual evidence of research activity but should be considered alongside individual research outputs, originality, technical significance, and documented innovation when evaluating broader academic contributions. [1]

Keywords

Mingfu Shao; Innovative Research Award; International Invention Awards; NAOC; Physics and Astronomy; research innovation; scholarly publications; bibliometrics; Scopus; ORCID.

Introduction

Academic research profiles commonly use publication records, citation activity, institutional affiliation, and persistent researcher identifiers to describe scholarly work. Scopus provides bibliographic and citation information that can be used to examine indexed research productivity and impact indicators. [1] In this context, Mingfu Shao’s available record is presented as an academic recognition profile based on supplied bibliographic information.

Research Profile

Mingfu Shao’s research profile is associated with NAOC in China and the subject area of Physics and Astronomy. The supplied Scopus information records four documents, three citations, and an h-index of one. The profile is additionally identified by ORCID 0009-0003-1447-2439, which provides a persistent identifier for distinguishing scholarly contributions and improving attribution across research systems. [1]

Research Contributions

The available record documents four indexed research documents associated with Mingfu Shao. These publications provide evidence of scholarly activity within the identified subject area. However, detailed publication titles, research methods, findings, patents, technologies, or applications have not been supplied in the available profile. Specific claims regarding individual scientific contributions should therefore be based on the original publications and verified bibliographic records.

Publications

The supplied Scopus record lists four documents for Mingfu Shao under Author ID 59967009200. [1] The available information does not provide complete publication metadata such as titles, journal names, publication years, co-authors, or DOI identifiers. Accordingly, no unsupported publication details or DOI numbers are assigned to the researcher in this article.

Research Impact

The supplied profile records three citations and an h-index of one. Citation counts provide an indication of how frequently indexed publications have been cited, while the h-index combines publication productivity with citation thresholds. These measures are useful bibliometric indicators but do not independently measure originality, methodological quality, practical application, or societal significance. [1]

Award Suitability

The documented affiliation with NAOC and subject classification in Physics and Astronomy establish a relevant academic context for an innovation-focused research recognition. The available record also confirms measurable publication and citation activity. However, evidence concerning specific inventions, patents, technological implementation, originality, or practical outcomes is not included in the supplied information. Award assessment should therefore consider the researcher’s submitted materials and the official criteria of the International Invention Awards. [2]

Conclusion

Mingfu Shao’s available academic record identifies an affiliation with NAOC in China and a research area of Physics and Astronomy. Four documents, three citations, and an h-index of one are documented in the supplied Scopus information. [1] These indicators provide a concise bibliometric description of the research profile. A complete assessment of innovative research would require additional evidence concerning individual research findings, originality, inventions, applications, patents, and documented outcomes.
