16th IEEE International Symposium on Medical Information and Communication Technology - ISMICT 2022 (ISMICT)

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page provides a comprehensive evaluation of leading conferences within the domain of Electronics and Electrical Engineering. Prepared by Research.com, a recognized authority in science research and data dissemination across all key disciplines—including Electronics and Electrical Engineering—this ranking builds upon a decade-long tradition of supplying reliable data on scientific contributions since 2014.

Each conference’s position in the ranking has been determined using a unique bibliometric score developed exclusively by Research.com. This metric uniquely combines the estimated h-index alongside the count of prominent scientists who have participated in each conference over the preceding three years. The ranking utilizes the latest available data, reflecting Impact Score values collected as of 2024-11-27.

The robust ranking methodology involved a thorough examination of more than 2,204 conferences, which were carefully shortlisted following an in-depth assessment and meticulous vetting process based on over 95,378 scientific documents published by 6,160 leading and well-respected scientists within the field during the past three years. This exhaustive process attests to the depth and complexity of analysis carried out by a team of experts to ensure the accuracy and credibility of the results.

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 International Symposium on Medical Information and Communication Technology (based on the number of publications) are:

• Ryuji Kohno (31 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Matti Hämäläinen (29 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 7 less than at the previous edition,
• Jari Iinatti (25 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
• Chika Sugimoto (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Kamya Yekeh Yazdandoost (10 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at International Symposium on Medical Information and Communication Technology (based on the number of publications) are:

• University of Oulu (42 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 11 less than at the previous edition,
• Yokohama National University (26 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Toshiba (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
• Worcester Polytechnic Institute (10 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition,
• Osaka City University (9 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 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 2016 edition, 7.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 54.05% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 5.41% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.92% of all publications and 21.62% 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.
