Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because even though the petitioner met three evidentiary criteria, this did not rise to the level of sustained national or international acclaim. The AAO determined that activities like publishing scholarly articles and peer reviewing are routine for academics, and the acclaim from his most significant work, a 2013 book, had not been sustained, as evidenced by low citation counts for his more recent publications.
Criteria Discussed
Lesser Nationally Or Internationally Recognized Prizes Or Awards Membership In Associations That Require Outstanding Achievements Published Material About The Individual Participation As A Judge Of The Work Of Others Original Contributions Of Major Significance Authorship Of Scholarly Articles
