Research Excellence Award
Franco Concli
Free University of Bolzano, Italy
Franco Concli profile presents Franco Concli in the context of scholarly research and academic recognition associated with engineering. The supplied bibliometric information reports providing quantitative indicators of research output and citation impact. These figures should be interpreted in relation to the relevant database, its coverage and the date on which the records were retrieved. [1]
Abstract
This academic recognition profile summarizes the supplied bibliometric indicators for Franco Concli and places them within the broader context of research evaluation in engineering. The profile reports 196 documents, 3,558 citations and an h-index of 39. These measures provide complementary perspectives on publication activity and citation visibility but do not independently measure methodological rigor, originality, reproducibility or societal benefit. The article also presents selected bibliographic records supplied as supporting material. [1]

Introduction
Academic recognition commonly draws on multiple forms of evidence, including publication records, citations, research contributions, methodological quality and relevance to a field. Bibliometric indicators can help describe a researcher’s scholarly visibility, although their interpretation depends on disciplinary practices, database coverage, co-authorship patterns and the period under consideration. No single metric provides a complete assessment of research quality. [2]
Research Profile
The supplied profile identifies Franco Concli as affiliated with the Free University of Bolzano in Italy and classifies the subject area as engineering. The Scopus author identifier provided for this profile is 57638101300. Scopus author records are used to group publications and citation information associated with an author identity; profiles may nevertheless require correction when names overlap, records are incomplete or publications have been incorrectly assigned. [1]
Research Contributions
The material supplied for this profile contains bibliographic records spanning several areas of applied science and medicine. These records illustrate topics such as polymer-based tissue expansion, treatment approaches for infantile hemangiomas, laser-based pain management, up-converting nanocrystals and photodynamic therapy for basal cell carcinoma. However, the contributor lists in the supplied records name other researchers, and the information provided does not establish that these articles belong to Franco Concli’s publication record.
Publications
The following selected bibliographic records were included in the supplied material. Their DOI links lead to the corresponding digital object identifier landing pages. The records are retained for traceability, but their attribution to Franco Concli has not been established by the information supplied. They should not be cited as his publications unless author-level verification confirms the association.
- Hydrogel tissue expanders for stomatology. Part I. Methacrylate-based polymers. Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine (2017). The supplied record lists Hrib, J.; Sirc, J.; Lesny, P.; Hobzova, R.; Duskova-Smrckova, M.; Michalek, J.; and Smucler, R.
- Direct and indirect treatment of pain with lasers – Update 2016. Disease (2016). The supplied record lists Šmucler, R. and Jenčová, J. EID: 2-s2.0-84992323214. No DOI was supplied.
- Large scale preparation of up-converting YF₃:YbEr nanocrystals with various sizes by solvothermal syntheses using ionic liquid bmimCl. Journal of Fluorine Chemistry (2016). The supplied record lists Bartůněk, V.; Rak, J.; Pelánková, B.; Junková, J.; Mezlíková, M.; Král, V.; Kuchař, M.; Engstová, H.; Ježek, P.; and Šmucler, R.
Research Impact
The supplied profile values indicate a reported citation count of 3,558 and an h-index of 39. Citation counts describe how frequently indexed work has been cited by other publications in a particular database, while the h-index captures a balance between the number of publications and their citation distribution. These indicators can inform a broad description of research visibility but do not directly establish whether a study is methodologically sound, practically influential or attributable to a particular research contribution. [2]
Award Suitability
The Research Excellence Award is the recognition category associated with this article and the International PopularScientist Awards event. The supplied bibliometric figures provide potential quantitative context for a research evaluation, while the stated engineering subject area supplies the disciplinary context. A responsible award assessment should combine these indicators with verified publication attribution, evidence of individual contributions, research quality and the published eligibility and evaluation criteria of the awarding organization.
Conclusion
This profile records Franco Concli’s supplied affiliation, engineering subject area and bibliometric indicators in connection with the Research Excellence Award category of the International PopularScientist Awards. The reported figures of 196 documents, 3,558 citations and an h-index of 39 provide a quantitative snapshot, subject to confirmation against the relevant database.
