Call for Papers

The theme for this year’s ESEM is “A new normal in Software Engineering!?”, which refers to the times we have after the pandemic. The theme essentially asks how the research, education or practice of Software Engineering may have changed for good. However, there is also the question of how much is new, or is it all just normal Software Engineering, perhaps something being applied more extensively? In addition to regular submissions, we encourage all kinds of contributions addressing the theme, be it vision papers, case reports, industrial experience reports, surveys, and so on.

Overview

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, developed by Research.com—one of the leading online platforms for science research across all major disciplines. Since 2014, Research.com has been committed to providing reliable and trusted data on scientific contributions, including in the rapidly evolving area of Computer Science.

The positions in this ranking are determined based on Research.com's unique bibliometric score, which reflects a conference's scientific impact and prestige. This score is calculated by combining the estimated h-index of the conference with the number of distinguished scientists who have participated in the event within the last three years. These Impact Score values, gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensure an up-to-date and accurate reflection of the current research landscape.

The rigorous assessment process for this ranking involved the examination of more than 2,742 computer science conferences. Each conference was carefully selected following a detailed inspection and thorough evaluation of over 148,739 scientific documents published during the last three years. This extensive analysis also considered the contributions of 13,184 leading and well-respected scientists within the field, ensuring that the ranking reflects both the volume and the quality of scholarly work presented.

For a comprehensive overview of how the ranking scores are computed and the analytical methods employed, we invite users to visit 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.

The top authors publishing at Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Fabio Q. B. da Silva (17 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Ye Yang (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Emilia Mendes (16 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Carolyn Seaman (15 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Guilherme Horta Travassos (15 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as 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 Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Blekinge Institute of Technology (28 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
  • Microsoft (20 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Federal University of Pernambuco (18 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Navarra (16 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Lund University (16 papers) published 1 paper 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, 1.61% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 26.23% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 14.75% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.48% of all publications and 47.54% 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.
