Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) 2023 Conference (AMCIS)

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page is dedicated to the field of Business and Management, offering an authoritative and data-driven assessment of leading academic events in the discipline. This ranking has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, a premier platform known for providing trusted and comprehensive data on scientific contributions across all major fields, including Business and Management, since 2014.

Positions in the ranking are determined using Research.com’s proprietary bibliometric score, specifically developed to reflect both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists participating in each conference over the three preceding years. This unique scoring methodology ensures that the ranking not only assesses citation impact but also recognizes the contribution of distinguished experts who shape the landscape of Business and Management research.

The Impact Score values featured in this ranking were collected on 2024-11-27, guaranteeing that the evaluation reflects the most recent and relevant activity in the field. The ranking process involved a rigorous examination of more than 216 conferences, which were selected following an in-depth review and evaluation of over 727 scientific documents published in the last three years. These documents were authored by 2,177 recognized scientists, each esteemed for their significant contributions to Business and Management scholarship.

The thorough and systematic approach adopted by our team underscores the credibility and academic rigor underlying this ranking.

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 2015 edition, 6.17% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.96% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 9.96% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.13% of all publications and 62.95% 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.
