Abstract

Maureen Chineta Okoye is an academic researcher affiliated with Southwest University in China and associated with the Arts subject area. Her documented Scopus profile records two research documents, one citation, and an h-index of 1. [1] These indicators provide a concise bibliometric representation of her indexed scholarly activity and citation visibility. The Research Excellence Award profile presents this information in an academic recognition context, emphasizing research documentation, scholarly affiliation, and publicly identifiable researcher information. Her ORCID identifier provides an additional persistent mechanism for distinguishing her scholarly identity and connecting relevant research outputs across academic systems. [2]

Keywords

Maureen Chineta Okoye; Research Excellence Award; Southwest University; Arts; academic research; scholarly communication; bibliometrics; Scopus; ORCID; research recognition.

Introduction

Academic recognition commonly considers documented research activity, scholarly contributions, publication records, and evidence of research visibility. Bibliographic databases such as Scopus provide structured information that can support the description of researchers and their indexed outputs. [1]

The Research Excellence Award profile for Maureen Chineta Okoye records her institutional affiliation, disciplinary area, bibliometric indicators, and persistent researcher identifier. These details provide a concise scholarly reference while distinguishing documented profile information from broader interpretations of research significance.

Research Profile

Maureen Chineta Okoye is affiliated with Southwest University in China and is identified within the Arts subject area. Her supplied Scopus author information lists Scopus Author ID 60224989600, two documents, one citation, and an h-index of 1. [1]

Her ORCID record is associated with the identifier 0000-0002-3303-2514. ORCID identifiers are designed to provide persistent distinctions between researchers and facilitate reliable connections among researchers, affiliations, and scholarly outputs. [2]

Research Contributions

The available profile information indicates an emerging indexed research record in the Arts discipline. Two documents provide the currently documented publication base, while one recorded citation indicates that at least one indexed work has received citation recognition within the database. [1]

Research contributions should be interpreted through the underlying publications, research questions, methods, venues, and disciplinary context rather than through bibliometric indicators alone. The available profile therefore serves as a concise record of indexed activity rather than a comprehensive assessment of scholarly quality.

Publications

The supplied Scopus profile records two indexed documents for Maureen Chineta Okoye. [1] Specific publication titles, journals, publication years, and DOI information were not provided in the supplied researcher data, so no individual publication details are attributed here without verification.

Research Impact

The supplied bibliometric record reports one citation for two indexed documents, demonstrating measurable citation activity within the referenced Scopus profile. [1] Such indicators can assist with documenting scholarly visibility but should be considered alongside qualitative evidence and disciplinary norms.

An h-index of 1 indicates that at least one indexed publication has received at least one citation under the profile’s reported data. [1] Citation indicators may change over time as databases are updated and additional publications or citations are indexed.

Award Suitability

The Research Excellence Award profile documents Maureen Chineta Okoye’s institutional affiliation, Arts subject area, indexed research activity, and persistent researcher identifier. These details provide identifiable academic information that can be presented as part of an award-recognition record. [1]

Award suitability should ultimately be determined according to the applicable award rules, nomination materials, research outputs, and review procedures. The bibliometric information presented on this page is descriptive and should not be interpreted as an independent determination of research quality or award eligibility.

Conclusion

Maureen Chineta Okoye’s academic profile identifies an affiliation with Southwest University, China, and a research association with the Arts subject area. The supplied Scopus information records two documents, one citation, and an h-index of 1. [1]

Together with the ORCID identifier, these records provide a structured foundation for presenting her academic identity and documented research activity. [2] Future updates to indexed publications and citation records may expand the available research profile.
