ACM Symposium on Document Engineering (DocEng)

The ranking presented on this page showcases the leading scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, meticulously compiled by Research.com. As one of the foremost online platforms for science research since 2014, Research.com has established a reputation for providing trusted and comprehensive data about scientific contributions across all major academic fields, including Computer Science.

This ranking is determined based on a rigorously developed bibliometric score, uniquely devised by the experts at Research.com. The bibliometric score integrates both the estimated h-index of the conferences and the number of prominent scientists who have contributed to them over the preceding three years. These robust indicators reflect not only the scientific impact of each event, but also the caliber of its participants.

For the 2024 edition, the Impact Score values were systematically gathered on 2024-11-27. The ranking process involved an exhaustive analysis of more than 2,742 Computer Science conferences. These were carefully selected after a detailed and rigorous examination of over 148,739 scientific documents published in the past three years, involving contributions from 13,184 leading and widely respected scientists within the discipline.

This comprehensive methodology ensures that the ranking reflects authoritative and objective assessments of conference prominence within the global research landscape. To learn more about the procedures and criteria employed in computing these ranking scores, please visit 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.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at Document Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

• Steven J. Simske (36 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
• David F. Brailsford (20 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Kim Marriott (19 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
• Ethan V. Munson (19 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• Dick C. A. Bulterman (18 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Document Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

• Hewlett-Packard (93 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 7 less than at the previous edition,
• University of Nottingham (28 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
• University of São Paulo (20 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
• Monash University (19 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
• University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee (18 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more 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, 9.80% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 39.13% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 8.70% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.91% of all publications and 28.26% 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.
