Similar publications are those for example scientific articles or book chapters in the Scopus database that are comparable in terms of publication year, type, and discipline. The metric refers to the citations received in the year of publication plus the following 3 years. According to the FWCI, <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwen.uni.lu\/recherche\/fhse\/dbcs\/people\/joel_billieux\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Jo\u00ebl Billieux<\/a> is ranked 4th in the whole psychology field in 2018, in a pool that includes researchers from 4,600 institutions.<\/p><p>Prof Billieux\u2019s FWCI index of 4.34 shows that his publications are being cited over four times more than the average for similar publications on a global level, making him one of the most influent researcher in today\u2019s research in psychology.<\/p><p>\u201cThis ranking is an outstanding recognition for the quality of the work we conducted in the last years, as well as the growing importance and visibility of addictive and compulsive behaviors in the psychology field.

The research team investigates the psychological processes (cognitive, affective, motivational, interpersonal) involved in addictive and compulsive disorders, and specialises in the development of psychological interventions targeting the incriminated processes (such as self-control, mental imagery, cognitive and attentional bias). An additional focus of ACB-Lab is the identification of psychological processes shared by the various addictive and compulsive disorders.<\/p><p>Other research conducted by Prof. Billieux concerns the conceptualisation and diagnosis of behavioral addictions (such as gaming and gambling disorder or excessive sexual behaviors) and the effect of emerging technologies on human behavior.<\/p><p>Prof. Billieux received in 2017 the <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwfr.uni.lu\/flshase\/actualites\/joel_billieux_recoit_le_prix_de_la_francophonie_pour_jeunes_chercheurs\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Young Researcher in Human and Social Sciences 2016-2017<\/a> award from the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie.
