Introduction

Academic research profiles commonly combine publication records, citation measures and subject-area information to describe a researcher’s scholarly activity. In this profile, Nicola Glover-Thomas is associated with the University of Manchester and the Humanities subject area. The supplied Scopus identifier is 10045332100, with a recorded total of 37 documents, 119 citations and an h-index of 6. [1]

Research Profile

The supplied Scopus information identifies Nicola Glover-Thomas with 37 documents and 119 citations, resulting in a reported h-index of 6. [1] These figures provide three complementary measures: document count describes indexed scholarly output, citation count records citations associated with that indexed output, and the h-index represents the number of publications meeting the corresponding citation threshold.

Research Contributions

The available profile information establishes a documented body of indexed scholarly activity but does not provide sufficient subject-specific detail to attribute particular research themes or individual publications to Nicola Glover-Thomas beyond the supplied profile information. Accordingly, this section focuses on the documented dimensions of the research record rather than introducing unsupported claims about specific research findings.The combination of 37 documents and 119 citations indicates that the supplied Scopus record contains a substantive body of indexed scholarly work with citations from subsequent research. [1]

Publications

The source material supplied for this article includes several Scopus-indexed publication records. However, the supplied records identify contributors whose names do not establish Nicola Glover-Thomas as an author. To avoid inaccurate attribution, the records below are presented as source-provided publication examples rather than as publications authored by the researcher.The DOI records above are retained because they were included in the supplied source material and provide persistent identifiers for the corresponding publications. They should not be interpreted as evidence that Nicola Glover-Thomas authored those works unless the author’s association can be independently verified from the relevant bibliographic databases. [2] [3] [

Research Impact

The supplied bibliometric record reports 119 citations across 37 documents and an h-index of 6. [1] Citation counts can provide evidence that published work has been referenced by subsequent scholarship, while the h-index combines publication and citation information into a single indicator. Such measures are database-dependent and can change as new publications and citations are indexed.

Award Suitability

The Best Researcher Award profile is supported by the supplied evidence of an indexed academic record associated with Nicola Glover-Thomas, including 37 documents, 119 citations and an h-index of 6. [1] These indicators provide measurable evidence that can form part of an academic recognition review.A complete award review should additionally verify the identity of the Scopus author profile, publication authorship, subject-area relevance and the qualitative characteristics of the candidate’s research.

Conclusion

Nicola Glover-Thomas is presented in the supplied academic profile as a University of Manchester researcher in the Humanities, with a Scopus author identifier of 10045332100. The supplied bibliometric indicators comprise 37 documents, 119 citations and an h-index of 6. [1] These data provide a concise quantitative description of the indexed research record. Further scholarly evaluation should incorporate verified publication authorship, research themes, originality, methodological contribution and disciplinary significance before drawing conclusions about individual research achievements.
