Five Decades of Scientific Development on “Attachment Theory”: Trends and Future Landscape
Abbas Ghanbari Baghestan & Nader Ale Ebrahim
Attachment Theory is one of the most frequently used frameworks which revolutionised
the understanding of human behaviour, from early childhood to adulthood. Attachment
Theory’s scholarly output was examined using a quantitative bibliometric approach, based
on rigorous facts extracted from the WoS databases from 1970 to 2017. Overall, 1,700
documents in the category “Psychology” with the topic “Attachment Theory” were analysed
to fnd trends of publications, networking coupling, keywords frequencies, top authors, and

Publishing Research Support Documents in Open Access Platform to Improve Research Impact
Nader Ale Ebrahim, Nader Ale Ebrahim & Yiibonn Bong
Researchers, journals, and universities want to receive more citations
for their scholarly publications. However, a paper citations depend on
its quality, visibility and author’s online profile. Research support
documents (unpublished papers, white papers, project reports, datasets,
software, posters, online resources and teaching materials) can be
additional source for increasing the author’s visibility. To enhance
research visibility and impact, the full range of scholarly output
should be available online on the open access platform. With open...
Maximized Research Impact: An Effective Strategies for Increasing Citations
Nader Ale Ebrahim, Hossein Gholizadeh & Artur Lugmayr
The high competitive environment has forced higher education authorities
to set their strategies to improve university ranking. Citations of
published papers are among the most widely used inputs to measure
national and global university ranking (which accounts for 20% of QS,
30% of THE, and etc.). Therefore, from one hand, improving the citation
impact of a search is one of the university manager’s strategies. On the
other hand, the researchers are also looking for some...

Early Career Faculties (ECFs) are an important demographic of university
faculty population shaping the future of the institution and higher
education, despite the challenges they face as new academics. Analysis
of scholarly output on ECFs offers useful data to inform and aid both
national policy formulations and institutional planning decisions
especially in ECFs’ support and development. Peer-reviewed high impact
journals and academic databases provide highly valid and reliable
sources of data and information on ECFs....
Bibliometric Analysis of Publication Trends in Family Firms’ Social Capital in Emerging Economies
, , & Nader Ale Ebrahim
There is a wide collection of journal articles and academic discourse on
family firms’ social capital. However, the focus on the comprehensive
synthesis of the collections is limited. The lack of efforts to
synthesize the issue of family firms’ social capital focuses on emerging

Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Time-Series Classification using Deep Learning
Saba Ale Ebrahim, Javad Poshtan, & Nader Ale Ebrahim
Time-series classification is utilized in a variety of applications
leading to the development of many data mining techniques for
time-series analysis. Among the broad range of time-series
classification algorithms, recent studies are considering the impact of
deep learning methods on time-series classification tasks. The quantity
of related publications requires a bibliometric study to explore most
prominent keywords, countries, sources and research clusters. The paper
conducts a bibliometric analysis on related publications in time-series
classification, adopted...

Use of common parts for different products (commonality) is important
methods for managing product variety and preserving competitiveness in
the age of mass customization and supply chain competition. In
literature, the advantages of inclusion of common components in a
product family are well established. Unfortunately, most of the works
have been conducted via simulation or conceptual thinking. The
mathematical models in the premises are not adequate for production,
planning and control in multistage production. This...

Visibility and Citation Impact
Nader Ale Ebrahim, Hadi Salehi, Mohamed Amin Embi, Farid Habibi Tanha, Hossein Gholizadeh & Seyed Mohammad Motahar
The number of publications is the first criteria for assessing a
researcher output. However, the main measurement for author productivity
is the number of citations, and citations are typically related to the
paper's visibility. In this paper, the relationship between article
visibility and the number of citations is investigated. A case study of
two researchers who are using publication marketing tools confirmed that
the article visibility will greatly improve the citation impact. Some
strategies to...
Does it Matter Which Citation Tool is Used to Compare the h-index of a Group of Highly Cited Researchers?
Nader Ale Ebrahim, Hadi Farhadi, Hadi Salehi, , Arezoo Aghaei Chadegani, Maryam Farhadi & Masood Fooladi
h-index retrieved by citation indexes (Scopus, Google scholar, and Web
of Science) is used to measure the scientific performance and the
research impact studies based on the number of publications and
citations of a scientist. It also is easily available and may be used
for performance measures of scientists, and for recruitment decisions.
The aim of this study is to investigate the difference between the
outputs and results from these three citation databases namely
