Abstract

This article presents a research profile of Md Abu Zaed, affiliated with Sunway University in Malaysia, in the context of the International Chemical Scientist Awards. The supplied profile identifies Materials Chemistry as the principal subject area and reports 51 research documents, 815 citations, and an h-index of 17. These bibliometric indicators offer a quantitative overview of reported scholarly output and citation activity, although they may change as databases are updated. [1] [2]

Keywords

International Chemical Scientist Awards; Md Abu Zaed; Sunway University; Malaysia; Materials Chemistry; chemical sciences; research publications; bibliometrics; citation analysis; h-index; scholarly impact; researcher profile.

Introduction

Chemical sciences contribute to the understanding of materials, molecular structures, chemical processes, and the development of technologies. Materials Chemistry examines relationships between composition, structure, properties, and potential applications. Research assessment in these fields may consider peer-reviewed publications, citations, methodological contributions, and the relevance of findings to wider scientific questions.Β  [1]

Research Profile

The supplied information identifies Md Abu Zaed as affiliated with Sunway University in Malaysia and associates the profile with Materials Chemistry. The listed Scopus author identifier is 58069214500, while the supplied Google Scholar profile and ORCID provide additional routes for checking researcher identity and scholarly records. Institutional affiliations, author records, and research metrics can change over time; therefore, the current database entries should be consulted to confirm their accuracy. [1] [2] [3]

Research Contributions

Materials Chemistry research can connect chemical synthesis and characterization with the investigation of material structure, performance, stability, and possible applications. Assessing an individual researcher’s contributions requires examination of specific publications, their methods, findings, reproducibility, and relevance to the field. The information supplied for this article identifies Materials Chemistry as the subject area but does not include a verified publication-by-publication summary. Specific discoveries, research projects, or technical achievements should therefore be described only after checking the underlying scholarly records. [1]

Publications

The supplied bibliometric information reports 51 documents associated with the researcher. A complete publication list should be obtained from the linked Scopus and Google Scholar profiles and checked for author-name ambiguity, duplicate records, corrections, and differences in database coverage. Individual articles can be evaluated through their abstracts, journal information, publication dates, and persistent identifiers such as Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), where available. Because no verified article titles or DOI records were provided with the profile data, specific publications are not attributed here. [1] [2]

Research Impact

The reported profile includes 815 citations and an h-index of 17. Citation counts measure recorded references to scholarly works, while the h-index combines publication output and citation frequency into a single indicator. Neither measure fully captures research quality, originality, practical value, or broader societal contributions. Results can differ across databases because indexing coverage and update schedules vary. [1] [4]

Award Suitability

The profile information may help organize a preliminary review for the International Chemical Scientist Awards by documenting the reported subject area, publication volume, citation activity, and researcher identifiers. However, bibliometric statistics alone do not establish eligibility or merit. A fair assessment should consider the award’s published criteria, the relevance and originality of the nominee’s work, publication quality, individual contributions, and supporting documentation. No confirmation of nomination, shortlist placement, selection, or award receipt is provided in the supplied information. The official event website should be consulted for current requirements and results. [5]

Conclusion

Md Abu Zaed’s supplied research profile identifies Sunway University in Malaysia as the affiliation and Materials Chemistry as the subject area. The reported figures of 51 documents, 815 citations, and an h-index of 17 provide a quantitative starting point for understanding the profile. These values should be verified against current scholarly databases, while individual research contributions require publication-level assessment.
