Overview

This comprehensive ranking presents a meticulously curated list of scientific conferences in the field of Psychology, serving as a critical resource for researchers, scholars, and professionals seeking authoritative guidance on prominent academic gatherings. The ranking has been developed by Research.com, recognized as one of the leading platforms for science research across all major disciplines, including Psychology, and renowned for delivering trusted data on scientific contributions since 2014.

Positions within this ranking are determined by a proprietary bibliometric score, uniquely formulated by Research.com. This score is calculated using a combination of each conference’s estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have been featured at the conference over the previous three years, ensuring a balanced evaluation that reflects both scholarly impact and sustained academic excellence.

The Impact Score values included in this ranking were gathered as of 2024-11-27, providing the most up-to-date and reliable insight into conference significance. The extensive selection process involved the assessment of over 377 scientific conferences, which were identified following a detailed review and rigorous scrutiny of more than 871 scientific documents published during the past three years by an esteemed cohort of 10,697 leading scientists in Psychology. This depth of analysis guarantees that only the most reputable conferences are represented, underscoring the credibility and utility of the ranking.

For a comprehensive explanation of the scoring process and the criteria employed in the ranking, detailed methodology information is available 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.

The top authors publishing at International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Scott Counts (21 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ingmar Weber (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Daniele Quercia (15 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Kristina Lerman (14 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Lada A. Adamic (14 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.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Microsoft (71 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
  • Carnegie Mellon University (47 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Michigan (45 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
  • IBM (42 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Cornell University (41 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 2019 edition, 16.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 10.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 30.00% of all publications and 40.00% 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.
