چکیده (انگلیسی):

This study aims to create a bibliometric profile of the Journal Computers in Human Behavior employing bibliometric analysis, bibliometric mapping and thematic analysis to identify its document types, the dynamics and trends of research literature production, impact factor, most cited articles, and large contributing institutions and countries. Additionally, the authors were interested in finding the established patterns of cooperation among countries and institutions and the most productive research themes and their evolution through time. We were also interested in finding out if there are any sleeping beauties among articles published in the Journal. The study revealed a positive trend of scientific literature production and that the average number of references is increasing contrary to the number of pages per publication, which is decreasing, although it has remained stable in recent years. The most productive countries and institutions are from the United States, and the majority of the literature production is done by economically and scientifically fit and well developed countries. The identified research themes correspond with the Journal's aims and scope. The rising number of publications, increasing number of citations and, consequently, the Journal impact factor, together with the existence of sleeping beauties, shows that the editorial policy is well thought out and future oriented.
