Where the sheet lists individual citations, we publish the figure it states rather than an edited selection of them.
What the profile does not settle. Three things the sheet does not settle. (1) The file we received is titled "Dr. Rajeev Lochan J.pdf"; the sheet itself prints "Dr. Rajiv Lochan J". The published name follows the sheet. (2) There is no qualifications section at all — no MBBS, MS or fellowship list — so the qualifications block is empty rather than invented. (3) The five bullets under the designation are not labelled "Areas of Expertise"; they read as research and programme interests and are published under that heading because that is the nearest honest home for them on this page.
