Introduction
The research record associated with Baeza demonstrates an emphasis on applied economic and policy problems occurring at the intersection of cities, infrastructure, technology, and sustainability. The 2026 systematic review on artificial neural networks considers architectures and evidence quality in smart-city service delivery while identifying a relationship between technological applications and urban economic development. [1] Earlier work addresses sustainability-report reliability in Colombian non-financial sectors and examines determinants of shared and privately owned e-scooter use in Madrid. [2] [3]
Research Profile
The reported Scopus profile contains 18 documents, 310 citations, and an h-index of 10. The publication themes indicate a multidisciplinary research orientation involving urban economics, transportation, sustainability assessment, infrastructure delivery, and technology-enabled public services. [6]
Research Contributions
The portfolio contributes to several contemporary research discussions. Studies of e-scooter adoption and regulation address changing urban mobility systems and the institutional factors surrounding shared transport. [3] [5] Research on public–private partnerships reviews the evolution of approaches to road infrastructure projects, while sustainability research examines mechanisms intended to improve the reliability of non-financial reporting.

Research Impact
The reported citation count of 310 and h-index of 10 provide bibliometric indicators of the visibility of the indexed research record. The publications also address practical policy environments, including Madrid’s micromobility system, Colombian sustainability reporting, road infrastructure partnerships, and regulation of shared electric scooters. These areas provide connections between economic research, governance, and urban development. [3] [4] [5]
Award Suitability
The documented publication portfolio provides evidence of sustained scholarly activity across topics relevant to Economics, Econometrics and Finance. Its combination of systematic review, empirical urban mobility research, sustainability reporting, infrastructure analysis, and transport regulation offers a broad basis for consideration under a research-article recognition category. The award context is the International Academic Excellence Awards. [7]
Conclusion
M. Ángeles Baeza’s documented research profile combines economic analysis with applied studies of urban systems, sustainability, infrastructure, and emerging technologies. The supplied record of 18 documents, 310 citations, and h-index 10, together with recent peer-reviewed publications and identifiable DOI records, provides a structured basis for documenting the Best Research Article Award profile.
