Abstract
The Young Researcher Award profile highlights an emerging nursing research record associated with Wolaita Sodo University, Ethiopia. The documented scholarly profile includes three Scopus-indexed documents, fourteen citations, and an h-index of three. The researcher is identified through ORCID as 0000-0001-6480-2027, providing a persistent identifier for scholarly activities. These indicators provide a concise bibliometric representation of early research activity and visibility. The profile is considered within the context of the International Research Awards, where emerging researchers may be recognized for developing scholarly contributions, research engagement, publication activity, and potential future impact within their respective academic disciplines.

Introduction
Young researchers contribute to the development of academic disciplines through investigation, publication, collaboration, and evidence-based practice. In nursing, research activity can support improvements in clinical knowledge, healthcare delivery, education, and population health. The Young Researcher Award provides a framework for recognizing developing scholarly profiles based on documented academic activity and research engagement. [1]
Research Profile
The available bibliometric record associates the researcher with Wolaita Sodo University in Ethiopia and identifies Nursing as the principal subject area. The Scopus author identifier is 58189025000, with three recorded documents, fourteen citations, and an h-index of three. [1] The ORCID identifier 0000-0001-6480-2027 provides an additional persistent scholarly identifier. [2]
Research Contributions
The documented research record demonstrates early-stage scholarly activity within nursing and health sciences. Three indexed documents and fourteen citations indicate that the published work has achieved measurable visibility within the Scopus database. Such activity can contribute to professional knowledge while establishing a foundation for continued research development and academic collaboration. [4]
Publications
The Scopus profile records three documents for the researcher. The available information does not provide sufficient bibliographic details to responsibly reproduce individual publication titles, journal names, publication years, or DOI identifiers. Accordingly, the publication record is represented through the verified author-level bibliometric information rather than through unsupported publication-specific claims.[3]
Research Impact
Research impact can be assessed through multiple dimensions, including scholarly citations, dissemination, collaboration, practical relevance, and contribution to professional knowledge. The profile records fourteen citations and an h-index of three in Scopus, providing measurable indicators of early scholarly visibility. These metrics should be interpreted in relation to career stage and disciplinary publishing patterns.[5]
Award Suitability
The documented profile is relevant to a Young Researcher Award because it reflects active scholarly participation in Nursing, a recognized health sciences discipline. The combination of institutional affiliation, indexed publications, citations, h-index, and persistent ORCID identification provides objective information that can support an academic recognition assessment. [1] [2]
Conclusion
The Young Researcher Award profile presents an emerging nursing research record affiliated with Wolaita Sodo University, Ethiopia. Three Scopus documents, fourteen citations, and an h-index of three indicate an established but developing publication and citation record. [1] The associated ORCID further supports scholarly identification and discoverability. [2]
