Overview

This ranking showcases the leading scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology, meticulously compiled to provide valuable insights to researchers, academics, and professionals. Prepared by Research.com, a trusted authority in science research data since 2014, the ranking reflects a commitment to rigor and transparency across all major scientific disciplines, with a special emphasis on Engineering and Technology.

Conferences are ranked based on a unique bibliometric score developed exclusively by Research.com. This score employs a robust methodology, combining the estimated h-index of each conference with the number of leading scientists who have contributed to these gatherings over the past three years. As a result, the position of each conference in the ranking is determined not only by historical impact but also by recent scientific influence.

The Impact Score values included in this assessment were collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the most up-to-date and relevant evaluation of conference contributions. The ranking process involved a comprehensive review of over 2,262 conferences, each subjected to a rigorous selection process. This examination encompassed more than 26,934 scientific documents published within the most recent three-year period, authored by 9,385 distinguished and widely respected scientists specializing in Engineering and Technology. Such a detailed approach guarantees both the depth and breadth of analysis, underpinning the ranking’s reliability and authority.

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 Group IV Photonics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Xavier Le Roux (9 papers) published 9 papers at the last edition,
  • Laurent Vivien (9 papers) published 9 papers at the last edition,
  • Delphine Marris-Morini (7 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition,
  • Eric Cassan (7 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition,
  • Carlos Alonso-Ramos (6 papers) published 6 papers 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 Group IV Photonics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Université Paris-Saclay (10 papers) published 10 papers at the last edition,
  • Ghent University (7 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition,
  • University of Grenoble (5 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition,
  • Polytechnic University of Milan (5 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition,
  • University of Southampton (5 papers) published 5 papers 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 2017 edition, 29.69% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 43.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 20.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.00% of all publications and 16.67% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering offers diverse career opportunities, but flexibility and affordability are key concerns for many students. Exploring the most affordable online general studies degree programs can provide a cost-effective foundation before specializing in this field.

Many students also benefit from the convenience of online colleges with flexible start dates, allowing them to begin their studies without waiting for traditional semester schedules. This flexibility is especially valuable for working professionals seeking to balance education with other commitments.

For educators interested in advancing their careers in engineering education, programs like the best online eds to edd programs offer pathways to doctoral degrees with flexible formats. This enables them to remain active in their roles while pursuing higher qualifications.

Additionally, accelerated options such as the fast track bachelor degree programs in America help students enter the workforce sooner by condensing the typical four-year curriculum into a shorter timeframe. This approach is ideal for those eager to jumpstart their careers in the rapidly evolving electronics and electrical engineering sectors.
