ABSTRACT

This paper presents a bio-bibliometric analysis of Dr. Lee Han Lim's scientific contributions to medical entomology, particularly vector-borne diseases such as dengue, malaria, Zika, and chikungunya, medical forensics, and maggot therapy. The analysis, through his scientific article, technical reports, and presentation, includes the geographical    and year-wise distribution of publications, collaboration for publication, publications by type, journal preferences for publication, and citation of the scientific articles. The study indicated that Dr. Lee is a prolific writer in Medical Entomology. Throughout his career and available records until 31st December 2021, he has contributed 998 scientific items, including 338 articles, 502 presentations and 158 technical papers and guidelines. Research work conducted by Dr. Lee has been well accepted in developed (e.g. the United Kingdom) and developing (e.g. Thailand) countries. Approximately ninety per cent of his research work was the outcome of collaboration. His publication is of good quality, and 1,963 documents have cited his works, contributing to a high H-index of 27 to recognize his excellent works.
