The ranking has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, a distinguished resource recognized for delivering reliable and authoritative data on scientific research contributions across all major fields, including Psychology, since 2014.

The position of each conference within this ranking is determined based on a unique bibliometric score developed exclusively by Research.com. This score is calculated using a combination of the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in the conference over the most recent three-year period. The resulting Impact Score values, as featured in this ranking, were compiled as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that the information is both current and relevant.

In the process of assembling this ranking, our experts conducted an extensive review and rigorous assessment involving more than 377 conferences. These conferences were chosen following a detailed evaluation of over 871 scholarly documents published during the past three years by a cohort of 10,697 renowned and respected scientists specializing in Psychology. This in-depth methodological approach underscores our commitment to providing a credible and high-quality resource for the academic community.

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 2021 edition, 8.86% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 19.44% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 11.11% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 18.06% of all publications and 51.39% 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.
