Distinguished researcher Dr Ali Alalwan, a professor of Marketing at Qatar University’s (QU) College of Business and Economics, has 36 research works classified in the best internationally accredited scientific journals. He was also named one of the most influential researchers in the world in the field of humanities, according to Clarivate Analytics (a foundation ranking of the world's universities) for the years 2021 and 2022, a QU statement said.
Dr Alalwan said: “I have a rich research record over the last five years. I would also like to point out that most of my research publications dealt with issues related to the topic of e-marketing, the use of social media sites, communication tools and digital commerce, especially in developing markets, such as the Jordanian and Saudi markets.
“I have 36 research papers classified in the best internationally accredited scientific journals within the Web of Science database, and I have participated in more than six scientific conferences in recent years. My research has been cited with around 7,042 scientific citations and an impact factor of H-index 27. My name was also included on the Clarivate Analytics list as one of the most influential researchers in the world in the humanities field for 2021 and 2022.”
Dr Alalwan noted that during his work at QU, he has been able to publish 10 scientific research works in the most prestigious international journals. “Qatar University is working to support all researchers affiliated with it through the backing of many research centres and grants, and the university is also working to encourage researchers to drive academic and research efforts that benefit both parties,” he said.
Dr Alalwan has so far supervised seven students, including their master’s theses, all of whom have successfully completed their theses and excelled, and some of them have been able to present their work in international conferences and journals. Previously, he taught at the University of Jordan and Al-Balqa Applied University, and is considered an arbitrator for a number of accredited local and international journals.
