Overview

The conference ranking presented on this page provides a comprehensive and data-driven assessment of scientific conferences within the field of Computer Science. Developed by Research.com, one of the leading and most trusted websites for science research since 2014, this ranking leverages a unique and robust bibliometric methodology to evaluate the impact and influence of conferences. Research.com is recognized for delivering authoritative data across all major disciplines, with an established reputation for reliability and accuracy in the scientific community.

The position of each conference in the ranking is determined by a proprietary bibliometric score, meticulously computed by Research.com. This score integrates the estimated h-index of the conference and the number of leading scientists who have participated in the event over the last three years, providing a multi-faceted perspective on both scientific quality and thought leadership within each conference. All Impact Score values featured in this ranking were gathered as of November 27, 2024, ensuring that the information presented is current and relevant.

The selection and evaluation process for the ranking involved an extensive review of the landscape of scientific conferences. More than 2,742 conferences were rigorously inspected and assessed, with the analysis encompassing over 148,739 scientific publications authored by 13,184 of the most prominent and respected scientists in Computer Science over the past three years. This exhaustive approach assures a high level of trust and credibility, emphasizing the depth and complexity of the research and analysis undertaken by experts at Research.com.

For those interested in a more detailed account of how the ranking scores are calculated, comprehensive information regarding the underlying methodology 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 Conference on Automation and Computing (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Shengfeng Qin (6 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition,
  • Jihong Wang (5 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition,
  • Fengshou Gu (4 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition,
  • Nasir Ahmad (4 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition,
  • Carsten Maple (4 papers) published 4 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.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at International Conference on Automation and Computing (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Brunel University London (12 papers) published 12 papers at the last edition,
  • University of Huddersfield (9 papers) published 9 papers at the last edition,
  • Loughborough University (8 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition,
  • University of Bedfordshire (6 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition,
  • University of Warwick (5 papers) published 5 papers 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 2012 edition, 49.22% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 75.38% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 18.46% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 6.15% 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.
