Introduction
Dengue is a major mosquito-borne viral disease and remains an important subject of international public-health research. Scholarly work addressing dengue supports improved understanding of transmission, surveillance, clinical management, prevention, and health-system preparedness. [2] Research profiles in this field can therefore contribute to evidence-based disease-control strategies. [1]
Research Profile
The available bibliometric profile identifies Bode Shobayo with Scopus Author ID 57222523134 and records 15 indexed documents, 79 citations, and an h-index of 5. The stated subject area is dengue, while the researcher’s ORCID provides a persistent identifier for scholarly activities and publications. [1]
Research Contributions
Shobayo’s documented research profile is situated within dengue research, a field requiring multidisciplinary approaches to disease surveillance, epidemiology, clinical evidence, vector control, and prevention. The indexed publication record indicates sustained scholarly participation, while the citation record provides a quantitative measure of how published work has been referenced within the scientific literature. [1]
Publications
The Scopus profile associated with Bode Shobayo reports 15 indexed documents. Publication records provide evidence of scholarly output and can be examined through author identifiers and bibliographic databases. For accurate interpretation, individual publication titles, authorship, journals, publication dates, and citation counts should be verified directly against the current indexed record. [2]
Research Impact
The recorded 79 citations and h-index of 5 indicate measurable citation activity associated with the researcher’s indexed publications. Bibliometric indicators are useful for describing scholarly visibility but should be interpreted alongside publication quality, research relevance, collaboration, methodological contribution, and broader scientific or public-health outcomes. [3]
Award Suitability
The Research Excellence Award profile reflects documented scholarly activity in dengue research, supported by indexed publications and citation indicators. The combination of subject-area relevance, publication output, citation activity, and an identifiable research record provides an academic basis for consideration within the Global Diseases Research Awards framework. [4]
Conclusion
Bode Shobayo’s documented research profile demonstrates scholarly engagement with dengue research and includes measurable bibliometric activity. The reported 15 documents, 79 citations, and h-index of 5 provide quantitative context for academic recognition, while ORCID and Scopus identifiers support researcher and publication discoverability.
