Overview

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences within the field of Engineering and Technology. Prepared by Research.com—one of the leading platforms for authoritative science research information across all major scientific disciplines—this ranking underscores the commitment to providing reliable, data-driven insights for the research community. Since 2014, Research.com has been at the forefront of delivering trusted data on scientific contributions, ensuring the accuracy and depth of their analyses.

The position of each conference in the ranking is determined using a distinctive bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score is calculated based on the estimated h-index and the number of distinguished scientists who have contributed to the conference in the three most recent years. By utilizing such robust metrics, the ranking provides a transparent, objective view of the impact and scholarly relevance of each conference.

The 2024 ranking incorporates Impact Score values gathered as of November 27, 2024, ensuring the relevance and currency of the data presented. The assessment process encompassed a meticulous review of more than 2,262 conferences. These were carefully selected following rigorous evaluation of 26,934 scientific documents, published in the preceding three years, authored by 9,385 of the most esteemed and influential scientists in Engineering and Technology.

This thorough approach highlights the breadth of research and the complexity of the analysis undertaken by Research.com’s experts, providing stakeholders with a trusted resource for identifying the foremost scientific conferences in this rapidly evolving field.

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each conference is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing at UKACC International Conference on Control (based on the number of publications) are:

  • J.A. Rossiter (27 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Guo-Ping Liu (24 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Kang Li (23 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 13 less than at the previous edition,
  • Ron J. Patton (19 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • James F. Whidborne (18 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at UKACC International Conference on Control (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Sheffield (95 papers) published 14 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Loughborough University (49 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Manchester (44 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 4 more than at the previous edition,
  • Queen's University Belfast (41 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 20 less than at the previous edition,
  • Cranfield University (37 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2018 edition, 7.69% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 40.62% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 19.79% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.42% of all publications and 29.17% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways
