Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While the AAO agreed the petitioner met the criteria for judging others' work and authoring scholarly articles, it found he did not demonstrate that his original scientific contributions were of major significance to the field. The evidence, including publications and citation counts, was deemed insufficient to prove a major impact on the field as a whole.
