Overview

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page is dedicated exclusively to the field of Engineering and Technology. This ranking has been meticulously developed by Research.com, recognized as one of the leading platforms for science research across all major disciplines. Since 2014, Research.com has been a trusted source of data on scientific contributions, providing comprehensive and credible information for researchers worldwide.

The conferences listed here are positioned according to a unique bibliometric score, an advanced metric created by Research.com. This score is derived by considering the estimated h-index of conferences and the number of leading scientists who have participated in each event over the last three years. The Impact Score values used for this ranking were gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the data is both recent and reflective of current academic impacts.

The rigorous process behind this ranking involved the examination of more than 2,262 conferences. These were carefully selected after a detailed inspection and extensive analysis of over 26,934 scientific documents published in the preceding three years. This evaluation encompassed the scholarly work of 9,385 distinguished and well-respected scientists in the Engineering and Technology domains, further reinforcing the depth and reliability of the assessment.

For those interested in exploring the comprehensive methodology and the criteria employed in computing the ranking scores, full details are 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 Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Alain Bouscayrol (109 papers) published 12 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Daniel Hissel (55 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Loic Boulon (46 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Joao P. Trovao (44 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition,
  • Walter Lhomme (39 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous 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 Vehicle Power and Propulsion Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Harbin Institute of Technology (145 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • university of lille (105 papers) published 14 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • Tsinghua University (86 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • Sungkyunkwan University (58 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Illinois Institute of Technology (58 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 2020 edition, 16.46% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.47% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 10.95% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.28% of all publications and 34.31% 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.
