Allerton 2026 — 62nd Annual Allerton Conference on Communication, Control, and Computing (Allerton)

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences within the field of Computer Science, meticulously curated to reflect the most influential and reputable forums for academic discourse and research dissemination. The ranking has been developed by Research.com, a leading authority in science research and analytics across major disciplines, with a longstanding reputation for providing trusted data on scientific contributions since 2014.

The position of each conference in the ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score specifically created by Research.com. This score is calculated based on two critical metrics: the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in the conference over the previous three years. Through this approach, the ranking offers a nuanced perspective that considers both the historical impact of each conference and its recent ability to attract distinguished researchers.

The Impact Score values featured in this ranking were compiled on 2024-11-27, ensuring up-to-date and relevant insights into conference performance. The rigorous process of assembling this ranking entailed the examination of more than 2,742 conferences selected through a detailed inspection and careful scrutiny of over 148,739 scientific documents published over the past three years. This exhaustive analysis involved contributions from 13,184 leading and well-respected scientists in the Computer Science community.

This dedication to depth of research and analytical rigor underlines the credibility and excellence of the ranking presented here. For an in-depth overview of the methodology used in calculating the ranking scores, including all underlying criteria and data sources, please refer to 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.

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, 2.20% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 36.52% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 16.85% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.40% of all publications and 20.22% 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.
