Keywords

Antara Pramanick; Bose Institute; India; bioaerosols; bioaerosol research; airborne biological particles; environmental microbiology; atmospheric microbiology; microbial aerosols; scientific research; young scientist; research recognition; World Cell Biologist Awards.

Introduction

Bioaerosols are airborne particles of biological origin, including microorganisms, fragments of biological material, and other biological entities that can be transported through the atmosphere. Their study connects microbiology, environmental science, atmospheric science, public health, and analytical methods. [2] Research in this area can address questions involving the composition of airborne biological communities, environmental distribution, aerosolization, persistence, and methods for detection and characterization.[1]

Research Profile

Antara Pramanick is affiliated with Bose Institute in India and is associated with the subject area of bioaerosols. The available Scopus profile identifies the researcher through Author ID 58902977600. The recorded bibliometric indicators are four documents, six citations, and an h-index of 1. [1] These figures represent the indexed record available through the supplied author profile and may change as publications are indexed or citation records are updated.

The research profile is situated within a scientific domain where interdisciplinary approaches are important. Bioaerosol investigations may require microbiological sampling, environmental monitoring, aerosol science, molecular characterization, and quantitative analysis. [3]

Research Contributions

Based on the supplied information, Pramanick’s research profile is associated with bioaerosols. Because detailed publication titles, study designs, datasets, and experimental findings have not been provided, specific scientific contributions should not be attributed beyond the documented subject classification. This distinction is important for maintaining an evidence-based academic profile.

  • Research activity is associated with the study of bioaerosols and airborne biological materials.
  • The indexed publication record comprises four documents in the supplied Scopus profile. [1]
  • The profile records six citations and an h-index of 1, providing measurable evidence of indexed scholarly activity. [3]

Publications

The supplied Scopus record indicates four documents associated with Antara Pramanick and six citations. [5] Since individual publication titles, journal names, publication years, and DOI identifiers were not supplied, this profile does not assign specific articles or findings to the researcher without verification from the primary bibliographic record. [2] [3]

Research Impact

The supplied bibliometric record documents six citations for four indexed documents and an h-index of 1. [1] Citation counts can provide one measure of scholarly visibility, but they do not independently establish the quality, originality, societal value, or practical significance of research. Interpretation is particularly important for researchers at an early career stage, for whom citation accumulation may be limited by publication age and field-specific citation patterns.

In bioaerosol science, research impact can extend across environmental microbiology, atmospheric processes, exposure assessment, microbial ecology, and related biological disciplines. [4]

Award Suitability

The Young Scientist Award is presented here as a recognition category within the World Cell Biologist Awards framework. Based on the supplied profile, Antara Pramanick has an identifiable institutional affiliation, a documented Scopus author record, four indexed documents, six citations, and an h-index of 1. These characteristics provide a verifiable starting point for consideration as an emerging researcher.

Conclusion

Antara Pramanick of Bose Institute, India, has a developing scholarly profile associated with bioaerosol research. The supplied bibliometric information records four documents, six citations, and an h-index of 1 in Scopus. [1] These indicators, together with the researcher’s documented subject area and institutional affiliation, provide relevant information for an emerging-scientist recognition profile. Future evaluation should incorporate detailed publication evidence and qualitative measures of scientific contribution alongside bibliometric indicators.
