Faculty scholarship can bring recognition to a University and to a Department for many years into the future. And having one’s scholarship recognized by others through the citation and referencing process is a hallmark of a strong career in academia.
I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to work with several outstanding scholars and academics over my career in which we produced ideas that are considered seminal research by external reviewers.
Seminal research is a term that describes an ability to come up with original research that is highly influential and cited by others in peer-reviewed journals and at scientific conferences. It is scholarship that provides a solid basis for future research and development in either a scientific and/or professional field.
One of the published articles I co-authored which has influenced the field of Applied Physiology is titled: “Oxygenation and exercise performance enhancing effects attributed to the breathe-right TM nasal dilator.”
The article, which was originally published in the Journal of Athletic Training, and has been cited over 20+ times in peer-reviewed journal publications ranging from numerous non-refereed publications as well as several master’s degree theses and appearing as a citation as recently as July 2013 in an international journal article written by Brazilian authors.
