Assessing research quality in catalysis involves several key metrics:
Reproducibility: Can the results be consistently reproduced by independent researchers? Performance Metrics: How well does the catalyst perform in terms of activity, selectivity, and stability? Mechanistic Understanding: Is there a clear understanding of the catalytic mechanism? Environmental and Economic Impact: Does the catalyst offer a greener and more cost-effective solution? Peer Review: Has the research been rigorously evaluated by other experts in the field?
