This ranking presents a comprehensive list of scientific conferences within the field of Engineering and Technology, meticulously compiled by Research.com—one of the foremost platforms dedicated to science research across all major domains. Since 2014, Research.com has been recognized for providing reliable and trusted data on scientific contributions worldwide, including in Engineering and Technology.

The conference positions in this ranking are determined using a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score incorporates both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference over the past three years, ensuring a multifaceted and robust assessment of scientific impact.

The impact score values underpinning the current ranking were gathered as of 2024-11-27, reflecting the most recent and authoritative data available. The rigorous ranking process entailed a thorough examination of more than 2,262 conferences, meticulously selected following detailed inspection and analysis. This process involved a careful assessment of over 26,934 scientific documents published in the last three years by 9,385 leading and highly esteemed scientists within the sphere of Engineering and Technology.

This in-depth, expert-driven analysis highlights not only the breadth of coverage but also the complexity of the methodologies employed to arrive at the most credible and trustworthy ranking of scientific conferences in the field.

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 Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (based on the number of publications) are:

• Alex B. Gershman (16 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Moeness G. Amin (14 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Visa Koivunen (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Wei Liu (8 papers) published 2 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (based on the number of publications) are:

• Massachusetts Institute of Technology (21 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
• Villanova University (16 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Air Force Research Laboratory (16 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 7 less than at the previous edition,
• McMaster University (13 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
• Technische Universität Darmstadt (11 papers) published 3 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, 2.56% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 16.45% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 10.53% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 30.26% of all publications and 42.76% 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.
