19th IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (CIBCB)

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences within the field of Computer Science. Developed by Research.com, a leading authority in science research across major academic disciplines since 2014, the ranking leverages trusted data and expert insight to provide an accurate reflection of the most impactful venues in the discipline.

The position of each conference in this ranking is determined using a uniquely developed bibliometric score by Research.com. This score is calculated based on the estimated h-index and the number of distinguished scientists who have contributed to the conference over the previous three years. Such a multifaceted approach ensures a rigorous and balanced assessment of conference quality and influence.

The Impact Score values provided in the ranking were most recently gathered on 2024-11-27, ensuring that the analysis reflects the latest trends and contributions in the field. The process for determining these rankings involved a thorough examination of more than 2,742 conferences, which were meticulously selected following a detailed analysis of over 148,739 scientific documents published within the last three years. Contributions from 13,184 leading and highly respected scientists in Computer Science were taken into account, highlighting the depth and complexity of the evaluation process.

For those interested in a detailed description of the methodologies and criteria used to compute the ranking scores, further information can be found 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 Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (based on the number of publications) are:

• Daniel Ashlock (24 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 6 less than at the previous edition,
• Luis Rueda (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Kay C. Wiese (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Sheridan Houghten (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Alioune Ngom (6 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 Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (based on the number of publications) are:

• University of Windsor (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Brock University (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
• Missouri University of Science and Technology (10 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Simon Fraser University (10 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 2016 edition, 2.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.20% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 12.20% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 24.39% of all publications and 51.22% 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.
