Overview

This ranking presents a comprehensive assessment of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, curated by Research.com—one of the leading and most trusted websites for science research across all major academic domains. Since 2014, Research.com has been recognized for providing reliable data on scientific contributions, supporting informed decision-making within the research community.

The positions within this ranking are determined using a proprietary bibliometric score, uniquely developed by Research.com. This score is meticulously computed based on two primary criteria: the estimated h-index of the conferences, and the number of leading scientists who have contributed to each conference during the last three years. Such a dual-criteria approach ensures a robust and multi-dimensional evaluation of conference impact and scholarly presence.

Impact Score values featured in this ranking were compiled as of 2024-11-27, representing the most recent data available. The exhaustive ranking process entailed the examination and assessment of over 2,742 conferences, which were carefully selected following a detailed inspection and rigorous analysis of more than 148,739 scientific documents published in the past three years. The evaluation drew upon the contributions of 13,184 distinguished and highly respected scientists specializing in Computer Science, thus ensuring the resulting ranking reflects the collective expertise and latest developments in the field.

For those interested in a more detailed understanding of the analytical procedures and criteria used to compute the ranking scores, comprehensive 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 Semantic Web Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Erik Mannens (36 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • Ruben Verborgh (34 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition,
  • Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo (29 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Jens Lehmann (28 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Ian Horrocks (28 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 5 less 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 International Semantic Web Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Oxford (70 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 11 less than at the previous edition,
  • Leipzig University (70 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 8 less than at the previous edition,
  • National University of Ireland, Galway (66 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
  • Open University (60 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 7 less than at the previous edition,
  • VU University Amsterdam (59 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 5 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 2017 edition, 5.13% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 18.02% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.82% of all publications and 28.83% 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.
