ACMSE 2026 — 2026 ACM Southeast Conference (ACMSE)

This comprehensive ranking highlights the leading scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, based on rigorous bibliometric analysis. Developed by Research.com, a trusted authority in scientific research data since 2014, this ranking leverages the organization’s longstanding expertise in assessing and providing reliable information on scientific contributions across all major disciplines, including Computer Science.

The placement of each conference within this ranking is determined by a proprietary bibliometric score, carefully designed and calculated by Research.com. This unique metric integrates the estimated h-index with the number of eminent scientists who have participated in the conference proceedings over the most recent three-year period. Such a methodology ensures an objective and data-driven assessment of each conference’s scientific impact.

The current ranking reflects the most recent Impact Score values, meticulously gathered as of 2024-11-27, thereby ensuring up-to-date and relevant insights for the academic community. In assembling this authoritative list, more than 2,742 conferences were scrutinized, having been selected through an extensive review process. This rigorous evaluation entailed the detailed analysis of over 148,739 scientific documents published in the past three years by 13,184 prominent and highly respected scientists in the Computer Science domain.

This in-depth approach demonstrates both the breadth and sophistication of the examination process undertaken by experts at Research.com, thereby reinforcing the credibility and reliability of the resulting conference ranking.

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

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at ACM Southeast Regional Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

• Auburn University (121 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
• Clemson University (120 papers) absent at the last edition,
• University of Alabama (104 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Kennesaw State University (96 papers) published 15 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• University of Alabama in Huntsville (73 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition.

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, 1.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 42.37% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 5.08% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 22.03% of all publications and 30.51% 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.
