This paper developed a publication and citation based scheme to identify potential skilled personnel that can serve in a collaborative project to curb epidemics. Importance and need for scheme to identify Skilled Personnel that can serve in collaborative projects to curb large-scale infectious disease outbreaks were identified, and used as basis to justify adoption of publication and citation system to evaluate potential and appropriateness of personnel to serve in collaborative project of curbing epidemics. The study forms one of the first rational approaches that attempts to identify appropriateness of a potential personnel from attributes of published works of the personnel. In this context, the study is original and of great potentials.
