Introduction
Urban development is an interdisciplinary research domain concerned with the spatial, social, economic and planning dimensions of cities and urban regions. Research in this area can contribute to understanding patterns of urban transformation, planning processes, spatial inequalities, development strategies and the relationship between built environments and wider regional systems.
Within this academic context, Mohammad Rahim Rahnama is associated with the Geography and Urban Planning Department of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. His indexed research profile places his scholarly activity within urban development, while bibliometric indicators provide measurable evidence of publication and citation activity. [1]
Research Profile
Rahnama’s academic profile is documented through multiple scholarly identification systems. His Scopus Author ID is 53878305100, while his ORCID identifier is 0000-0002-4851-6327. [1] [2] These persistent identifiers facilitate distinction between researchers with similar names and provide structured pathways for reviewing scholarly records.
The available Scopus information records 27 documents, 317 citations and an h-index of 9. [1] Google Scholar provides an additional scholarly profile through which publications and citation information can be examined. [3] Together, these records establish a documented bibliographic foundation for assessing the researcher’s academic activity.
Research Contributions
The research profile associated with Rahnama is situated in urban development and geography and urban planning. This field encompasses research addressing the organization and transformation of urban spaces, planning approaches and development processes. The documented publication record provides evidence of sustained engagement with scholarly research in this broad subject area. [5]
Publications
The supplied research profile identifies 27 documents indexed in Scopus. [1] The complete publication titles and individual bibliographic details should be verified against the researcher’s current Scopus and Google Scholar records before being reproduced in a formal publication list.
For scholarly evaluation, publication records may be considered alongside citation data, journal or conference venue, authorship, research topic, methodological contribution and subsequent use of the published work. Where individual publications are referenced, their persistent identifiers, including DOI records where available, provide a reliable means of locating the original scholarly source.
Research Impact
Citation-based indicators provide one measurable dimension of scholarly impact. The supplied Scopus record reports 317 citations and an h-index of 9 for Rahnama. [1] These indicators suggest that a portion of the researcher’s published work has been cited by subsequent scholarly literature.
Research impact in urban development should, however, be considered through a broader framework that can include academic influence, methodological contribution, relevance to planning practice, contribution to policy discussions and applicability to urban and regional development challenges. Bibliometric indicators therefore provide useful evidence for assessment but should be evaluated together with the substance and quality of the underlying research.
Award Suitability
The Best Researcher Award is intended to recognize researchers whose academic records demonstrate meaningful research activity, scholarly publication and measurable influence within their area of expertise. Rahnama’s documented profile includes 27 Scopus-indexed documents, 317 citations and an h-index of 9, together with identifiable records in Scopus, ORCID and Google Scholar. [4] [2] [3]
