15th International Conference on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (CHASE)

This comprehensive ranking presents a rigorously curated list of scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology. The ranking is developed by Research.com, a leading authority in science research recognized for providing reliable and insightful data on scientific contributions across all major disciplines, including Engineering and Technology, since 2014.

The placement of each conference within this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score, meticulously designed by Research.com. This score is established using two principal components: the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in the conference over the three most recent years. These indicators are chosen to ensure a balanced and transparent measure of conference impact and influence within the scientific community.

All Impact Score values featured in this ranking were carefully gathered as of 2024-11-27. The preparation process entailed the thorough examination of more than 2,262 conferences, each selected following an exhaustive review and robust scrutiny of over 26,934 scientific documents published within the past three years. This evaluation process incorporated the contributions of 9,385 highly regarded and influential scientists, ensuring that only the most impactful conferences are represented.

This ranking reflects a commitment to excellence in data accuracy, methodological rigor, and comprehensive coverage, affirming its status as a trusted resource for researchers, professionals, and decision-makers in Engineering and Technology. Full details of our robust and transparent methodology are available for your review on our Methodology Page.

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.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

• Wenyao Xu (6 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Feng Lin (6 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Helen Sharp (4 papers) absent at the last edition,
• André van der Hoek (4 papers) absent at the last 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

• Open University (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
• University at Buffalo (8 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• University of Connecticut (7 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• University of California, Irvine (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Carnegie Mellon University (6 papers) absent at the last 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 2017 edition, 1.32% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 17.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.67% of all publications and 34.67% 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.
