Quality of research articles vs. Quantity of research articles Which is the better way to establish an eminent scientist?

Question
3 answers

 Mar 20, 2023

I have seen some researchers who publish 4 to 5 articles per year but only in high impact factor journals (IF > 7.5) as
well as many others who publish 20 to 30 articles per year inluding both the Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 journals as well as
book chapters.

However, I would like to know the metrics on which a scientist is being recognised by his/her university to be
qualified to receive grants and to become a Professor?

The responses are welcomed.

Hello Shuraik Kader

Further to what Dr Genick Bar-Meir said that "... no one can judge quality..." - that seems to be so true. It seems to be
("true" quality) best recognised by people from your own field only. It seems they are the only people who best
understand the worth of your work.

Having said that, appointments and decisions are made by people who do NOT know or understand.., In that case,
quantity is more helpful to impress them.

Green roof substrates - What are the future scopes?

Question
9 answers

 Dec 8, 2022

Green roofs are becoming increasingly popular among researchers, engineers and related construction stakeholders
to mitigate food crisis, Urban heat island effect, rainfall scarcity and enhancement of thermal comfort in urban
ecosystems. Substrate is the most important component of a green roof. Our research team has carried out an
extended systematic review regarding all the types of green roof research in the past 50 years and published a
research article in Frontiers in Built Environment:

Article Green roof substrates—A literature review

In your perspective, apart from the fields mentioned in our research article (link given above),

What are the scopes available within green roof substrates-related research for future studies? Are there any
justifications for the choice?

Answer
Green roofs reduce building energy use by cooling roofs and providing shading, thermal mass and insulation.
Biodiversity and Habitat: Green roofs provide new urban habitat for plants and animals, like birds and insects, thereby
increasing biodiversity. Green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of the built environment on human
health and the natural environment by: Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources. Green roofs are used in
residential, commercial, government and public buildings. Innovative energy-efficient construction technologies will
bring great benefit to the ecology and help to relief the heat island effect. To achieve our sustainability goals, need to
invest in disruptive practices and green technologies to optimize water consumption, improve air quality, ensure
energy security, biodiversity and reduce carbon footprint. Green roofs have been shown to increase biodiversity. The
type and amount of biodiversity will depend on the type of green roof installed. Green roofs are eco-friendly and a
great way to promote environmental sustainability. Compared to other roof types, green roofs have numerous
benefits, including reduced energy costs. By lowering temperatures and reducing energy use, green roofs can help
reduce concentrations of several pollutants that affect air quality, climate, and health. Green roofs reduce energy
consumption in space heating through shading, evapotranspiration, insulation, increase in thermal mass, and
reduction of heat loss through radiation.

Article Soil Management in Sustainable Agriculture: Analytical appro...

This is one of our works based on analysing the viability of ammonia recovery and removal from manures extracted
from dairy farm. These kinds of approaches could be sustainable solutions for mitigating air pollution as well as could
be utilised into sustainable energy productions.

What are some of the alternative measures could be used to recover ammonia from the animal manures
those are practiced around world in domestic and industrial phases?
