Overview

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page offers a comprehensive evaluation of conferences within the field of Engineering and Technology. This ranking has been meticulously developed by Research.com, a premier source of scientific research analytics and trusted data on scientific contributions across major fields—including Engineering and Technology—since 2014.

Each conference's position in the ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score, specially designed by Research.com. This scoring system incorporates both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have contributed to each conference over the most recent three-year period, ensuring a robust and multifaceted assessment of conference impact and influence.

The current edition of the ranking contains Impact Score values compiled as of 2024-11-27. The rigorous selection process entailed the examination of more than 2,262 conferences, chosen after an extensive and critical analysis of over 26,934 scientific documents published within the last three years. These publications were authored by 9,385 distinguished and widely recognized scientists active in the Engineering and Technology community.

For readers interested in the technical details of the ranking process, and the specific methodologies employed in the calculation of rankings and impact scores, further 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 International Frequency Control Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Ji Wang (15 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Craig W. Nelson (13 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 8 less than at the previous edition,
  • Archita Hati (13 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 7 less than at the previous edition,
  • David A. Howe (13 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 8 less than at the previous edition,
  • Wei Zhou (12 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition the same number as 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 International Frequency Control Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Centre national de la recherche scientifique (41 papers) published 20 papers at the last edition, 16 more than at the previous edition,
  • National Institute of Standards and Technology (35 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 8 less than at the previous edition,
  • Chinese Academy of Sciences (23 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Franche-Comté (17 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition, 6 more than at the previous edition,
  • Ningbo University (17 papers) published 2 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 2015 edition, 15.59% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 37.58% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 11.46% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.11% of all publications and 31.85% 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

For students interested in expanding their expertise beyond traditional Electronics and Electrical Engineering, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career opportunities. Many programs, such as online MSW programs no GRE required, offer flexibility and accessibility for those seeking advancement in social work while balancing professional commitments.

Choosing the right institution is crucial, especially when considering online education. The best online colleges provide accredited programs that ensure high academic standards and industry recognition. This accreditation is vital for career growth and graduate opportunities.

Beyond engineering, some graduates explore advanced psychology degrees to enhance their leadership and management skills. Programs such as psy d programs are increasingly available online, catering to professionals looking to merge technical knowledge with psychological insights.

For those aiming at leadership roles, an online master's in organizational leadership can provide the necessary skills to lead engineering teams or manage large-scale projects effectively. These pathways highlight the diverse educational options complementing an engineering background.
