Overview

This comprehensive ranking presents a curated list of the leading scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology. Prepared by Research.com, a prominent authority in science research data since 2014, this ranking is grounded in a rigorous and transparent methodology that ensures the reliability and integrity of the presented results.

The position of each conference in this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score, an innovative metric developed by Research.com. This score is calculated based on the estimated h-index of published research and the number of distinguished scientists who have made presentations at each conference over the past three years. The Impact Score values featured here were gathered as of 2024-11-27, guaranteeing the most up-to-date assessment.

To compile this ranking, our team thoroughly analyzed more than 2,262 conferences, which were selected after an in-depth evaluation process. This involved meticulous examination of over 26,934 scientific documents authored by 9,385 highly esteemed scientists in the domain of Engineering and Technology over the last three years. This extensive review process ensures that only the most impactful and respected conferences are recognized.

Further information regarding the methodology employed to compute the ranking scores—including detailed explanations of all criteria—is available on our Methodology Page.

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, 2.49% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.86% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 10.09% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.28% of all publications and 47.77% 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.
