Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required three out of ten evidentiary criteria. Although the petitioner met the criteria for judging and scholarly articles, he did not sufficiently demonstrate that his original contributions were of major significance. The AAO found that publishing in high-impact journals and the provided citation counts were not, on their own, sufficient to prove a major impact on the field.
