Maria Tavares is presented in this academic recognition profile in connection with the field of energy and sustainability and the Innovative Research Award. The supplied profile information identifies an affiliation with the University of Aveiro in Portugal and reports 21 documents, 321 citations, and an h-index of 7. These indicators provide a quantitative snapshot of scholarly activity, but do not independently establish the quality or originality of individual contributions. [1]

Abstract

This profile summarizes the supplied academic information for Maria Tavares, whose stated research subject is energy and sustainability. The provided metrics record 21 documents, 321 citations, and an h-index of 7. These measures are commonly used to describe publication output and citation activity, although they vary across databases and disciplines. [2]

Keywords

Energy; sustainability; innovative research; scholarly publications; citation analysis; research evaluation; Portugal; University of Aveiro; academic recognition; sustainable development.

Introduction

Energy and sustainability research encompasses the development, assessment, and responsible use of energy systems and resources. It can involve efficiency, renewable energy, environmental performance, resource management, and the social or economic dimensions of transitions toward more sustainable systems. Research in these areas draws on multiple disciplines, making careful interpretation of methods and evidence important when evaluating its significance. [3]

Research Profile

The supplied information associates Maria Tavares with the University of Aveiro, Portugal, and identifies energy and sustainability as the relevant subject area. The provided Scopus identifier and ORCID are included to help readers locate bibliographic records. ORCID provides persistent researcher identifiers intended to distinguish researchers and connect their scholarly activities across systems. \(4\)

Research Contributions

The subject area provides a broad framework for examining possible contributions to energy and sustainability. Relevant research may investigate technologies, systems, policies, resource use, environmental impacts, or approaches to improving energy performance. However, the information supplied for this page does not identify specific papers or findings, so no particular discovery or technical achievement is attributed to the researcher here.

Publications

The profile data supplied for this page reports 21 documents in Scopus. A complete publication list should be retrieved directly from the appropriate author record and checked for accurate authorship, title, journal or conference, year, and persistent identifier. The Scopus link supplied in the source data contains author ID 15071864700, which differs from the separately supplied ID 57190586130 displayed in the profile table. This discrepancy should be resolved before the page is treated as a verified bibliographic record. \(1\)

Research Impact

The reported total of 321 citations offers one indication of how frequently the indexed documents have been cited by other publications. Citation counts can help identify scholarly attention, but they do not by themselves measure validity, societal benefit, or originality. Citation practices also vary among disciplines, publication types, and research communities. [2]

Award Suitability

The Innovative Research Award is presented here as the recognition category associated with the profile. A transparent award assessment may consider originality, the importance of the research question, quality of evidence, scholarly influence, relevance to the stated field, and the nominee’s documented role in collaborative work. The supplied publication and citation metrics can support an initial overview, but they are not sufficient on their own to establish award eligibility or selection.

Conclusion

This academic recognition profile brings together the supplied information for Maria Tavares, including the stated affiliation with the University of Aveiro, Portugal, and a research focus on energy and sustainability. The reported indicators are 21 documents, 321 citations, and an h-index of 7. These figures offer a concise bibliometric snapshot but should be checked against the current authoritative researcher record.
