By the time of filing the case, he has published 13 peer-reviewed scientific articles, 2 book chapters, and 1 patent, which have been cited 234 times worldwide. In addition, he has also served as a peer-reviewer and conducted at least 7 reviews for highly esteemed journals. Besides detailing several of his most well-known projects, our team also carefully investigated into the citations he received, and found out that his citation records have positioned him in the top 10% by citations in his field. Four recommendation letters were also included in our petition package to offer unbiased statements to attest the contribution of our client.

Why is our strategy so effective?
