Abstract

This academic recognition profile presents Maria Czernicka, affiliated in the supplied information with the University of Rzeszów, Poland, and associated with sustainable agri-food research. The profile identifies an indexed research output of 19 documents, 275 citations and an h-index of 9. These indicators offer quantitative points of reference for describing publication activity and citation visibility, but they do not independently measure methodological quality, originality, societal value or the practical sustainability of research outcomes. The Research Excellence Award context provides a framework for discussing research quality, scholarly contribution and potential relevance to sustainable agri-food systems. Individual achievements and award status should be supported by verified publications and official award records.[2]

Keywords

Maria Czernicka; Research Excellence Award; sustainable agri-food research; research impact; bibliometrics; scholarly publications; University of Rzeszów; Poland; scientific collaboration; research evaluation.

Introduction

Research excellence encompasses the quality, originality, integrity, reproducibility and relevance of scholarly work. In sustainable agri-food research, these considerations may relate to agricultural production, food systems, environmental stewardship, resource efficiency and the long-term resilience of communities and ecosystems. The precise relevance of these topics to an individual researcher depends on the content of their verified publications rather than their broad subject classification alone.[3]

Research Profile

The supplied profile associates Maria Czernicka with the University of Rzeszów in Poland and identifies sustainable agri-food research as the subject area. Her listed Scopus Author ID is 57192554374, and the supplied ORCID identifier is 0000-0003-2977-5355. These identifiers provide routes for checking author records and distinguishing scholarly profiles, but the completeness and accuracy of each record should be verified before drawing conclusions about authorship or institutional history. [2]

Research Contributions

Research contributions in sustainable agri-food systems may include developing scientific methods, evaluating agricultural practices, improving food-system efficiency, investigating environmental impacts or generating evidence relevant to policy and industry. These are examples of the broader field, not claims that Maria Czernicka has conducted each type of research. Establishing her specific contributions requires examination of the titles, abstracts, methods and findings of her published work.[1]

Publications

The supplied profile reports 19 documents associated with the researcher. No publication titles, journal names, publication dates or individual DOI records were included in the input. Consequently, a verified publication bibliography cannot be reproduced from the supplied information alone. The linked Scopus author record is the appropriate starting point for checking indexed documents, subject classifications and available citation information. [1]

Research Impact

The supplied bibliometric profile lists 275 citations and an h-index of 9, alongside 19 documents. These values describe aspects of indexed publication and citation activity as reported in the input. They should be rechecked against the live database because citation counts, document totals and author profiles can change over time.[3]

Award Suitability

The Research Excellence Award is presented here as the recognition context associated with the supplied researcher profile and the Leadership Global Awards event. Bibliometric information may contribute to an assessment of research activity, but a fair award decision should also consider the quality and significance of the work, the candidate’s documented contribution, research integrity and the applicable award criteria.[2]

Conclusion

The supplied information identifies Maria Czernicka with the University of Rzeszów, Poland, and the subject area of sustainable agri-food research. It reports 19 documents, 275 citations and an h-index of 9, together with Scopus and ORCID identifiers that can support further profile verification. These details provide a starting point for an academic recognition profile, rather than a complete evaluation of research quality or impact.[1]

Early Academic Pursuits 🎓

LOKOSSOU Romaric Serge’s journey into the world of agricultural research began with a strong academic foundation. In 2011, he earned his Agricultural Engineer Degree, marking the start of his commitment to sustainable agricultural development. His academic path was shaped by a deep passion for improving farming practices, optimizing resource management, and ensuring food security. During his formative years, he developed expertise in agronomy, soil science, and water resource management, setting the stage for his future contributions to agricultural research.

Professional Endeavors and Research Focus 🔬

Shortly after completing his degree, he joined the Regional Project INuWaM (Integrated Nutrient and Water Management for Sustainable Food Production) as a Research Assistant. This opportunity allowed him to work closely with experts in soil fertility, irrigation techniques, and crop sustainability. His role in INuWaM was instrumental in developing innovative strategies for nutrient and water management, ensuring that agricultural practices remained productive while minimizing environmental degradation.

Over the years, he expanded his research portfolio, focusing on themes such as soil health, sustainable farming systems, and climate-resilient agriculture. His work involved conducting field experiments, analyzing data on soil nutrients, and promoting best practices for smallholder farmers in Benin and beyond. His research aimed at bridging the gap between scientific innovation and practical application, ensuring that farmers had access to improved techniques that enhanced crop yield and sustainability.
