Overview

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page is a comprehensive listing of conferences from the field of Engineering and Technology. This ranking has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, recognized as one of the leading websites for science research across all major disciplines, including Engineering and Technology. Since 2014, Research.com has been providing trusted and reliable data on scientific contributions, reinforcing its reputation within the academic and professional communities.

The position of each conference in the ranking is determined through a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com experts. This score is computed by integrating the estimated h-index alongside the number of leading scientists who have actively participated in each conference over the previous three years. Such an approach ensures a balanced and informed representation of both the scientific impact and the stature of contributors involved.

Impact Score values utilized in this ranking were systematically gathered as of 2024-11-27. The development of this ranking entailed an exhaustive process that commenced with a detailed inspection and rigorous examination of over 2,262 conferences. These conferences were selected based on the profound analysis of more than 26,934 scientific documents published in the last three years by 9,385 leading and well-respected scientists within the domain of Engineering and Technology. This demanding methodology underscores the depth of research and complexity of analysis undertaken by our team of domain experts.

For readers seeking a deeper understanding of the methodology and criteria used to compute the ranking scores, detailed 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 Internaltional Ultrasonics Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Jørgen Arendt Jensen (13 papers) published 13 papers at the last edition,
  • Jan D'hooge (11 papers) published 11 papers at the last edition,
  • Gregg E. Trahey (10 papers) published 10 papers at the last edition,
  • Mickael Tanter (9 papers) published 9 papers at the last edition,
  • Matthew W. Urban (9 papers) published 9 papers 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 Internaltional Ultrasonics Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

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 2013 edition, 16.87% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 23.26% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 12.68% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.68% of all publications and 40.38% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways
