CICLing 2018 : International Conference on Computational Linguistics and Intelligent Text Processing (CICLing)

The ranking presented on this page offers a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences within the field of Engineering and Technology. This ranking has been meticulously compiled by Research.com, a leading resource for science research and analysis across all major academic domains, including Engineering and Technology. Research.com is recognized for delivering reliable data on scientific achievements since 2014.

Conference positions in this ranking are determined through a unique and robust bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score synthesizes multiple indicators, notably the estimated h-index as well as the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference over the past three years. This multifaceted approach ensures a balanced reflection of both the influence and the prestige of the conferences evaluated.

The Impact Score values featured in this ranking were collected and analyzed as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the most up-to-date representation of conference impact within the field. The ranking process itself entailed an exhaustive examination of more than 2,262 conferences, each selected following detailed inspection and rigorous analysis of over 26,934 scientific documents published during the previous three years. These documents were authored by 9,385 distinguished and widely respected scientists specializing in Engineering and Technology, underscoring the depth and quality of the data underpinning this ranking.

The methodology behind the computation of ranking scores is the result of expert-driven, complex analysis, designed to maintain the highest standards of academic rigor and credibility. Readers interested in understanding the full analytical process and the metrics utilized are encouraged to consult our Methodology Page for comprehensive details.

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.

• University of Stuttgart (103 papers) published 9 papers at the last edition, 2 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 2020 edition, 11.98% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.89% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 6.04% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.31% of all publications and 64.76% 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.
