Abstract

This article presents an academic profile of Youn-Woo Hong based on the affiliation, subject area, and bibliometric figures supplied for this page. The researcher is associated with the Korea Institute of Ceramic Engineering and Technology, and the stated subject area is materials science. The reported record comprises 40 documents, 364 citations, and an h-index of 12. These values can provide a preliminary indication of publication activity and scholarly visibility, but they may vary according to database coverage and the date of retrieval. A substantive assessment of research excellence should also examine the relevance and originality of individual studies, the robustness of their methods, and their influence on scientific or technological practice. The available input does not include specific publication titles or research findings, so project-level contributions require confirmation from scholarly records. [1] [3]

Introduction

Materials science examines the relationships between the composition, structure, processing, properties, and performance of materials. It supports research across areas such as ceramics, metals, polymers, composites, electronic materials, energy systems, and industrial technologies. Research in ceramic engineering can contribute to the development and characterization of materials intended for applications that require particular thermal, mechanical, chemical, or electrical properties. Claims about an individual researcher’s specific work in these areas, however, should be based on verified publications rather than inferred from an institutional affiliation alone. [4]

The Best Researcher Award is the recognition category named in this article. The International Environmental Scientists Award website is provided as the associated event reference. Eligibility, nomination status, selection procedures, and official results should be confirmed using the organizer’s published information. This profile does not imply that the researcher has received an award. [5]

Research Profile

The supplied information identifies Youn-Woo Hong with the Korea Institute of Ceramic Engineering and Technology in South Korea. The associated Scopus author profile provides a starting point for checking the researcher’s indexed publications, citation record, and author attribution. These details should be compared with publisher records and other reliable academic sources before being used in formal biographical or evaluation materials. [1]

The reported metrics—40 documents, 364 citations, and an h-index of 12—are reproduced from the supplied data and have not been independently verified in real time. Bibliometric indicators can differ between databases because of differences in indexing, document types, citation updates, and author-profile matching. No ORCID identifier was included in the supplied information, and none is inferred here.

Research Contributions

A careful assessment of contributions in materials science may examine research questions, experimental design, characterization methods, reproducibility, and relevance to scientific or engineering needs. The following dimensions are useful for reviewing work associated with materials and ceramic engineering; they are general evaluation categories rather than claims about specific projects undertaken by Hong.

  • Materials characterization: evaluating whether composition, structure, and material properties are measured using appropriate, validated methods.
  • Processing and performance: examining relationships between manufacturing or treatment conditions and material behavior.
  • Scientific innovation: determining whether a study provides a demonstrable advance in understanding, methodology, or practical capability.
  • Application relevance: assessing whether findings address a defined engineering, industrial, environmental, or technological challenge.
  • Research integrity: considering transparent methods, reliable data, appropriate analysis, and reproducibility of reported findings.

Identifying Hong’s specific contributions requires reviewing the titles, abstracts, full texts, and publication metadata associated with the supplied Scopus profile. Without those records, it would be inappropriate to attribute a particular discovery, technology, patent, or application to the researcher.

Publications

The supplied data reports 40 documents linked to the Scopus author identifier 36484468000. The Scopus profile can be used to review the available publication list, co-authorship information, document types, and citation records. Individual entries should be checked against their original publisher pages to confirm authorship and bibliographic accuracy. [1]

A verified bibliography for formal academic use should include complete titles, author names, journal or conference details, publication year, and DOI or stable publisher links where available. No individual publication titles or DOI identifiers were provided for this article, so specific papers are not listed. This approach avoids introducing inaccurate or unrelated references.

Research Impact

The reported total of 364 citations offers a measure of how frequently indexed documents attributed to the profile have been cited within the relevant database. The reported h-index of 12 indicates, under the database’s counting rules, a set of at least 12 publications with at least 12 citations each. The h-index was introduced as an indicator combining aspects of scientific publication output and citation impact. [6]

Citation measures do not independently establish research quality, originality, reproducibility, or real-world benefit. Their interpretation depends on field-specific citation patterns, publication age, database coverage, and accurate author identification. A balanced impact review should therefore include the substance of individual studies, the reliability of their methods, and evidence that findings have informed further research or practical applications.

For formal review, the reported metrics should be verified directly in the relevant database and documented with a retrieval date. Research impact can be assessed more fully by considering methodological rigor, independent recognition, collaboration, research transparency, and demonstrable contributions to materials science or related engineering fields.

Award Suitability

The reported bibliometric indicators provide an initial basis for reviewing a potential candidate under a Best Researcher Award category. The institutional affiliation and materials-science subject area offer context for identifying relevant scholarly work. Nevertheless, these details alone are insufficient to establish award eligibility or determine the quality and significance of a candidate’s contributions. A final assessment should follow the official criteria of the organizer and be supported by verifiable research evidence.

A structured review could consider the following dimensions:

  • Research quality: the clarity of research questions, appropriateness of methods, reliability of results, and strength of conclusions.
  • Originality and innovation: evidence that the work advances knowledge, introduces a useful method, or solves a meaningful problem.
  • Scholarly influence: verified publications, citations, independent engagement with the work, and relevant recognition.
  • Practical or scientific significance: documented value for materials research, engineering applications, or related fields.
  • Verification and eligibility: confirmation of identity, publication attribution, affiliation, nomination requirements, and compliance with the official award rules.

Based on the supplied information, Youn-Woo Hong’s reported research metrics justify further examination of the linked scholarly record. A definitive recommendation would require verified publications, evidence of the candidate’s specific contributions, and the official award criteria. This article does not state or imply that an award has been conferred.

Conclusion

This article summarizes the supplied academic profile of Youn-Woo Hong, including the stated affiliation with the Korea Institute of Ceramic Engineering and Technology, the materials-science subject area, and the reported bibliometric indicators. The figures provide a starting point for reviewing scholarly visibility, but a complete assessment of research excellence requires verified publication records and evidence of original, rigorous, and meaningful contributions. Award suitability should be determined only after comparison with the organizer’s official criteria and confirmation of relevant research achievements.
