Fathima Razack is a researcher affiliated with the Durban University of Technology in South Africa, with a research profile indexed in Scopus under Author ID 60417400400. The available bibliographic information identifies Business as the principal subject area and records one document, three citations, and an h-index of one. [1] This article presents a structured academic profile in relation to the Innovative Research Award associated with the Global Academic Awards.
The assessment presented here is based on the supplied research-profile information and is intended to provide a concise scholarly overview of publication activity, citation impact, research contribution, and award suitability. It does not independently verify research claims beyond the referenced profile information.
Abstract
Fathima Razack is affiliated with the Durban University of Technology, South Africa, and has a Scopus-indexed research profile in the Business subject area. The supplied Scopus information records one document, three citations, and an h-index of one. [1] These indicators provide a quantitative snapshot of the research profile and form part of the evidence considered in discussing suitability for recognition under the Innovative Research Award category. The available information supports a focused profile description while remaining limited in scope because only one indexed document is identified.

Introduction
Academic recognition commonly considers evidence of scholarly activity, research outputs, disciplinary relevance, and the influence of published work. Bibliometric indicators such as documents, citations, and h-index values can provide a quantitative perspective on a researcher’s indexed scholarly activity, although such indicators should be interpreted in relation to disciplinary context and publication history. The Scopus profile supplied for Fathima Razack records one document and three citations, with an h-index of one. [1]
Within this context, the Innovative Research Award provides a framework for considering research activity associated with innovation and scholarly contribution. The available profile information identifies Business as the research subject area and establishes an institutional affiliation with Durban University of Technology. The assessment in this article therefore focuses on the documented research profile rather than making unsupported claims about specific projects, methods, commercial outcomes, or societal effects.
Research Profile
The available research profile identifies Fathima Razack as a researcher affiliated with Durban University of Technology in South Africa. The indexed subject area is Business, indicating that the available Scopus record is associated with business-related scholarship. The profile contains one indexed document and records three citations, resulting in an h-index of one. [1]
Because the available record contains a limited number of indexed outputs, the indicators should be treated as a snapshot rather than a comprehensive representation of the researcher’s complete scholarly activity. Additional publications, projects, collaborations, grants, or other research achievements would require separate supporting evidence.
Research Contributions
The documented contribution that can be established from the supplied profile is the presence of a Scopus-indexed scholarly publication within the Business subject area. The publication has accumulated three citations, indicating that the indexed work has been referenced by other scholarly publications. [1] Citation activity can provide evidence of scholarly visibility, although it does not by itself establish the originality, methodological quality, practical value, or broader societal impact of a particular study.
For an award focused on innovative research, a fuller contribution assessment would ordinarily consider the originality of the research question, methodological contribution, relevance to the discipline, evidence of knowledge advancement, collaboration, and application or impact. The currently supplied bibliometric record establishes a basis for evaluating publication and citation activity, while detailed claims regarding these additional dimensions are not asserted without supporting documentation.
- Scopus-indexed scholarly activity in the Business subject area.
- One recorded scholarly document in the supplied author profile.
- Three citations associated with the indexed research record.
- An h-index of one in the supplied Scopus profile.
Publications
The supplied Scopus information records one document for Fathima Razack. [1] The specific publication title, journal, publication year, authorship details, and DOI were not included in the supplied research-profile data. Accordingly, no publication title or DOI is assigned here to avoid introducing bibliographic information that has not been verified.
Research Impact
The available citation data provide a measurable indication of scholarly visibility. Three citations are recorded for the single indexed document, while the h-index is one. [1] These indicators suggest that the documented publication has received recognition within the indexed scholarly literature.
Bibliometric indicators should nevertheless be interpreted cautiously. Citation counts vary substantially between disciplines, publication types, research topics, and publication ages. A single document also provides a relatively narrow basis for evaluating long-term research influence. Consequently, the recorded citation activity is best understood as one component of the research-impact assessment rather than as a standalone measure of overall academic contribution.
Award Suitability
Based on the supplied information, Fathima Razack has an identifiable academic affiliation, a Scopus-indexed research profile, one recorded document, three citations, and an h-index of one. [1] These elements provide a documented foundation for consideration under an academic recognition category.
For the Innovative Research Award, the strongest directly documented evidence is the existence of indexed scholarly research in the Business subject area and the citation activity associated with that research. The available evidence is consistent with an early or limited indexed publication profile. However, the supplied data do not provide sufficient information to independently establish the specific innovative features of the research, its practical implementation, technological development, policy influence, or wider societal outcomes.
Accordingly, the profile may be considered potentially suitable for academic recognition on the basis of the supplied research indicators, subject to the award’s complete eligibility and evaluation requirements and any additional supporting evidence requested by the awarding organization. This conclusion is intentionally limited to the information provided and does not constitute an independent peer-review assessment of the underlying research.
Conclusion
Fathima Razack’s supplied research profile establishes an affiliation with Durban University of Technology in South Africa and a Scopus-indexed research presence in the Business subject area. The profile records one document, three citations, and an h-index of one. [1] These indicators demonstrate documented scholarly activity and measurable citation visibility.
In relation to the Innovative Research Award, the available evidence supports consideration of the researcher for academic recognition, while also indicating that a more comprehensive assessment would benefit from publication-level information and evidence concerning originality, innovation, methodological contribution, application, and broader research outcomes. The assessment therefore remains evidence-based and proportionate to the information currently available.
