Abstract

This academic profile presents Hiroki Ohtani, a researcher affiliated with Kanazawa University, Japan, whose identified subject area is Genetics. The supplied Scopus profile information reports two documents, 23 citations, and an h-index of 2. These bibliometric indicators provide a quantitative overview of the researcher’s indexed scholarly output and citation activity.

Introduction

Genetics is a major branch of biological science that investigates the structure, function, transmission, and variation of genetic information. It examines how genes influence biological characteristics and how genetic material is replicated, expressed, regulated, and inherited. Developments in molecular biology, genome analysis, and computational approaches have expanded the scope of genetic research, supporting investigations into biological processes at molecular, cellular, and organismal levels.

Contemporary genetic research encompasses several interconnected areas, including molecular genetics, genomics, population genetics, gene regulation, and the study of genetic variation. These areas contribute to a broader understanding of biological diversity, inheritance, and the molecular basis of biological functions. Research in Genetics may also intersect with biotechnology, evolutionary biology, biomedical science, and other life-science disciplines. [4]

Academic evaluation in Genetics requires consideration of the scientific question, experimental design, analytical approaches, data interpretation, and reproducibility of findings. Bibliometric indicators can provide additional information about scholarly visibility, but they cannot independently establish the originality or significance of a research contribution. A balanced researcher profile should therefore combine quantitative records with qualitative assessment of the underlying publications. [3]

Research Profile

Hiroki Ohtani is identified in the supplied information as being affiliated with Kanazawa University in Japan. His listed research subject area is Genetics. The affiliation provides the institutional context for the academic profile, while the Scopus and ORCID identifiers offer mechanisms for locating and distinguishing associated scholarly records. [1] [2]

The Scopus author identifier provided for the researcher is 57211445715. The associated ORCID iD is 0009-0002-7923-7096. These identifiers are useful for scholarly record discovery and researcher identification across academic information systems. Scopus provides indexed publication and citation information, whereas ORCID provides a persistent digital identifier that researchers can use to distinguish their academic identities. [1] [2]

Research Contributions

Research contributions in Genetics can involve the identification of genetic relationships, investigation of gene function, analysis of inherited characteristics, and examination of molecular mechanisms responsible for biological variation. Depending on the research question, studies may use experimental, computational, statistical, or interdisciplinary approaches to investigate genetic information and its biological significance.

A comprehensive evaluation of a researcher’s contributions should consider several scientific dimensions:

  • Originality of the research question and its relevance to current knowledge in Genetics.
  • Reliability of experimental methods, genetic analysis, and data interpretation.

Publications

The supplied Scopus profile reports two documents associated with Hiroki Ohtani. These records provide a starting point for reviewing the researcher’s indexed scholarly output. Publication counts may vary between bibliographic databases because of differences in indexing coverage, document classification, author-name matching, and profile updates. [1]

No individual publication titles or DOI identifiers have been included in this profile because verified publication-level details were not provided. Readers can consult the researcher’s Scopus author profile for available indexed records.

Research Impact

The supplied bibliometric information reports 23 citations and an h-index of 2 for Hiroki Ohtani. These indicators provide a quantitative snapshot of the citation activity associated with the researcher’s Scopus profile. Citation counts reflect references received by indexed scholarly documents, while the h-index combines publication output and citation frequency into a single measure. [1] [3]

The h-index was introduced as an indicator of individual scientific research output. A researcher has an h-index of h when h publications have each received at least h citations. In this profile, the reported h-index of 2 indicates that at least two indexed publications meet the corresponding citation threshold within the database and reporting context used. [3]

Bibliometric indicators should be interpreted with care because citation patterns vary across disciplines, publication types, and stages of an academic career. Citation counts may also differ between databases because each platform has its own coverage and indexing practices. Consequently, the reported figures should be treated as time-dependent indicators rather than permanent measures of research achievement.

Award Suitability

The Best Researcher Award recognizes scholarly activity and research contributions within the context of the International Molecular Biologist Awards. An appropriate assessment of a candidate for this category should consider the originality, scientific relevance, methodological quality, and documented outcomes of the candidate’s research. Bibliometric indicators may provide supporting context, but they should not be used as the sole basis for determining research excellence.

For the academic profile of Hiroki Ohtani, a balanced evaluation may consider the following areas:

  1. The relevance and originality of the research questions addressed in the candidate’s publications.
  2. The scientific validity and reproducibility of the methods used in genetic research.

Further information about the International Molecular Biologist Awards, its recognition categories, and official activities can be accessed through the official award website.

Conclusion

Hiroki Ohtani is identified in the supplied academic information as a researcher affiliated with Kanazawa University, Japan, with Genetics listed as the subject area. The profile reports two documents, 23 citations, and an h-index of 2. The Scopus author identifier and ORCID iD provide access points for exploring the researcher’s available scholarly records and verifying associated academic information.
