Research areas of the most cited articles at URSI Atlantic Radio Science Conference:

The most cited papers aim to foster the development of research in Antenna (radio), Remote sensing, Telecommunications, Acoustics and Scalability. The most cited papers explore topics in Antenna (radio) which can be helpful for research in disciplines like MIMO, WSDMA, 3G MIMO, Precoding and Electronic engineering. While work presented in the most cited articles provide substantial information on Remote sensing, it also covers topics in Simulation and Electromagnetic field.

What topics the last edition of the conference is best known for?

• Quantum mechanics
• Optics
• Electrical engineering

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The conference was organized to reinforce research efforts on Acoustics, Electronic engineering, Numerical analysis, Electrical engineering and Maximum power transfer theorem. Topics in Acoustics were tackled in line with various other fields like Mobile antennas, Antenna radiation patterns, Reduction (complexity) and Ground plane. The studies in Electronic engineering featured incorporate elements of Scale (ratio), Plane wave, Finite-difference time-domain method, Thin wire and Angular spectrum method.

In addition to Numerical analysis research, the conference aims to explore topics under Scalability, Applied mathematics and Maxwell's equations.

The most cited articles from the last conference are:

• Dynamic Simulations of Quantum Cascade Lasers Beyond the Rotating Wave Approximation (3 citations)
• Impact of Ground Plane Reduction in Antennas for Compact Terminals (2 citations)
• A Dual-Band Wearable Exposure Meter for Personal RF Exposure Assessment in Indoor Environments: On-body Calibration in a Reverberation Chamber (1 citations)

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.

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 2018 edition, 10.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 55.56% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 33.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.11% 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.
