A publication record provides a documented basis for identifying research activity, while persistent identifiers such as ORCID facilitate accurate attribution of scholarly outputs.[3]

Publications

The supplied record specifies five documents but does not provide individual publication titles, years, journals, or DOI identifiers. Accordingly, no publication titles are attributed to Sousa without bibliographic verification. DOI records, when available, provide persistent links to individual scholarly works and should be matched to verified publication metadata before inclusion in an academic profile.[4]

Research Impact

Research impact can be documented through several complementary indicators, including publications, citations, collaboration, research visibility, and practical or scientific relevance. The present profile confirms five documents but does not provide verified citation or h-index values. Consequently, the profile describes documented research activity without assigning an unsupported numerical impact assessment.

Award Suitability

The Innovative Research Award is presented here as the recognition category associated with Sousa’s supplied profile at the International Food Scientist Awards. Relevant considerations for documenting research recognition include the researcher’s subject area, identifiable scholarly outputs, affiliation, and persistent researcher identification. The available information establishes these profile elements while avoiding unsupported claims concerning comparative ranking or research performance.

Conclusion

Paula Sousa is identified as a Portugal-based researcher affiliated with the Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar and associated with Dairy Science and Technology. The supplied record reports five documents and provides the ORCID identifier 0000-0001-9082-8060. These details form the documented basis of this academic recognition profile and provide a concise scholarly context for the Innovative Research Award category.
