Overview

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page offers a comprehensive evaluation of events within the field of Electronics and Electrical Engineering. This ranking has been developed by Research.com, a leading authority in the dissemination of scientific data and research insights across all major disciplines, including Electronics and Electrical Engineering. Since 2014, Research.com has been a trusted provider of meticulously curated information on scientific contributions.

Conference positions in this ranking are determined using a rigorously developed and unique bibliometric score, formulated exclusively by Research.com. This score takes into account both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have actively contributed to each conference over the preceding three years, thereby providing a robust indicator of a conference’s academic impact and the caliber of its contributors.

The current list includes Impact Score values compiled as of 2024-11-27, reflecting the most recent and relevant data available. The ranking process is distinguished by its thoroughness and breadth, involving an in-depth examination of more than 2,204 conferences. These conferences were selected through a detailed inspection and rigorous analysis of over 95,378 scientific documents published in the past three years. Input from 6,160 leading and highly respected scientists specializing in Electronics and Electrical Engineering was instrumental in ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the evaluation.

For readers interested in the specifics of our assessment approach, a full explanation of the methodology employed for computing the ranking scores can be found on 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.

The top authors publishing at International Conference on Lightning Protection (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Vernon Cooray (106 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Farhad Rachidi (75 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Chandima Gomes (64 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Carlo Alberto Nucci (36 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Vladimir A. Rakov (35 papers) absent at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at International Conference on Lightning Protection (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Uppsala University (90 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Universiti Putra Malaysia (81 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Electric Power Research Institute (51 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (47 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (45 papers) absent at the last 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 2021 edition, 22.22% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 85.71% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 4.76% of all publications and 9.52% 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.
