Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish at least three of the required evidentiary criteria. The Director had previously revoked the approval, finding the petitioner only met the criteria for judging others' work and authorship of scholarly articles. The petitioner failed to demonstrate on appeal that he also met the criterion for original scientific contributions of major significance, as publishing in top journals and having high citation rates were not, in themselves, sufficient proof.
