Overview

This ranking provides a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities, presenting a reliable resource for academics and professionals seeking data-driven insights into research venues. Prepared by Research.com, a leading platform recognized for its credible data on scientific contributions across all major fields since 2014, this ranking reflects a commitment to rigorous analysis and transparency in scientific evaluation.

Conference positions are determined using a unique bibliometric score developed exclusively by Research.com. This score synthesizes two crucial components: the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference within the past three years. This multidimensional approach ensures that the ranking not only considers the quantity and impact of scientific output but also the prominence of contributors, providing a nuanced picture of conference prestige and influence.

The data underlying the ranking, including Impact Score values, were meticulously gathered as of 2024-11-27. The ranking process entailed a comprehensive analysis of more than 450 conferences, individually chosen following intense scrutiny and rigorous examination. This selection was grounded in an in-depth review of over 1,700 scientific documents published during the past three years by 6,602 leading and well-respected scientists across Social Sciences and Humanities. Such an extensive vetting process underscores the robustness and reliability of the resulting conference rankings.

For a detailed explanation of the metrics and methodology applied in computing these ranking scores, readers are encouraged to refer to 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 Computing Education Research Workshop (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Mark Guzdial (14 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Robert McCartney (12 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Briana B. Morrison (11 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Beth Simon (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Kate Sanders (10 papers) published 1 paper 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 Computing Education Research Workshop (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Georgia Institute of Technology (26 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Washington (21 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 4 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of California, San Diego (18 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Kent (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Connecticut (12 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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 30.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 24.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.00% of all publications and 28.00% 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.
