Abstract

This article presents a structured recognition profile for Shaozhong Wang of Nanjing University in connection with the International Chemistry Scientist Awards. The profile identifies organic synthesis as the stated subject area and records bibliometric information supplied for the researcher. The information is descriptive rather than evaluative, and formal award decisions remain the responsibility of the awarding organization .[1]

Keywords

Organic synthesis; synthetic methodology; catalytic reactions; heterocyclic chemistry; total synthesis; gold catalysis; copper catalysis; asymmetric synthesis; alkyne-carbonyl metathesis; reaction mechanism; medicinally relevant scaffolds; Nanjing University.[1]

Introduction

Organic synthesis concerns the design and preparation of organic molecules through controlled chemical transformations. It supports research across medicinal chemistry, materials science, catalysis, and related areas, while modern evaluation increasingly combines publication records with evidence concerning reproducibility, originality, collaboration, and broader scientific contribution .[3]

Research Profile

The supplied profile places Shaozhong Wang at Nanjing University in China and identifies organic synthesis as the principal subject area. The associated Scopus identifier is 7410336759, allowing readers to consult the indexed author record and assess the current scope of the bibliometric information Scopus author profile .[1]

Research Contributions

On the basis of the supplied information, Wang’s research profile is associated with organic synthesis. A complete assessment of contributions would require examination of individual publications, experimental findings, co-authorship patterns, datasets, patents, and independent citations; those details are not included in the present record.[3]

Publications

The supplied data reports 85 documents indexed under the stated Scopus author identifier. Because individual titles, journals, publication dates, and DOI records were not supplied, no specific publication is attributed to Wang in this article. Readers should use the author profile and publisher records to verify publication-level information.[2]

Research Impact

The reported citation count and h-index provide quantitative indicators of visibility within the indexed literature, but they do not by themselves establish the quality, significance, or societal value of a research program. Interpretation should account for database coverage, disciplinary citation behavior, self-citation, field norms, and the date on which the metrics were collected .[2]

Award Suitability

The supplied indicators establish a reasonable basis for considering Shaozhong Wang within a research-recognition context focused on chemistry, particularly organic synthesis. They should be treated as supporting information rather than as a definitive ranking, since award suitability also depends on the criteria, nomination materials, peer review, and verification procedures applied by the International Chemistry Scientist Awards .[1]

Conclusion

Shaozhong Wang is presented as a Nanjing University researcher working in organic synthesis, with the supplied profile reporting 85 documents, 3,046 citations, and an h-index of 28. These data support consideration in an academic recognition context, while a complete scholarly evaluation requires current database verification and detailed review of the underlying research record.[3]
