Call for Papers

With the increase in data availability and recognition of uncertainty, MODSIM2021 will focus on how modelling and simulation can be used to translate data into action. Building on the traditional modelling and simulation papers in diverse areas, papers will explore the conference theme from a wide spectrum of disciplinary perspectives organized in different streams. Papers can approach the theme from different angles, including quantitative and qualitative modelling, and stakeholder engagement techniques. We encourage innovative approaches using novel modelling objectives. Special themes of the conference will include methods that take advantage of large datasets, scenario modelling of uncertain futures under climate change, resource constraints, and conflicting objectives. In 2021 the workshops for MODSIM will occur on late Thursday afternoon and Friday, we are inviting members to set up Special Interest Groups and put suggestions forward for a workshop in their area of interest.

Overview

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page provides a comprehensive evaluation of conferences within the field of Ecology and Evolution. Developed by Research.com, a trusted resource for scientific data and research analytics since 2014, this ranking draws upon extensive expertise in analyzing academic contributions across all major disciplines, with a particular focus on Ecology and Evolution.

Each conference’s position in the ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score formulated by Research.com. This score is calculated using the estimated h-index and the number of eminent scientists who have presented at the conference over the most recent three-year period. The current Impact Score values were collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the data reflect the latest developments and achievements in the field.

The process of compiling this ranking involved the rigorous selection and assessment of more than 435 conferences. These were chosen following an in-depth review and critical analysis of over 776 scientific documents published in the last three years. The review encompassed the contributions of 8,134 leading and well-respected scientists specializing in Ecology and Evolution, ensuring that the ranking accurately represents the forefront of current scientific thought and innovation.

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 Congress on Modelling and Simulation (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Jeffrey P. Walker (40 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Barry Croke (34 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ataur Rahman (32 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Dongryeol Ryu (29 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Andrew W. Western (26 papers) absent 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 Congress on Modelling and Simulation (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (148 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • University of Melbourne (147 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Australian National University (78 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Queensland (73 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Griffith University (49 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 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 2020 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 100.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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.
