IEEE CPMT Symposium Japan (ICSJ)

This comprehensive ranking showcases the leading scientific conferences in the field of Materials Science, thoughtfully compiled by Research.com, a prominent platform renowned for delivering trusted data and insights on scientific contributions since 2014. As one of the leading websites for science research across all major disciplines, Research.com applies a rigorous methodology to ensure the reliability and relevance of its assessments.

The ranking is determined by a distinguished bibliometric score, uniquely developed by Research.com, which incorporates both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists presenting at each conference over the past three years. This approach enables a nuanced measurement of both academic impact and participation by top experts in Materials Science.

For the current edition, all Impact Score values were gathered on 2024-11-27, reflecting the most recent data available. The ranking process involved the meticulous examination of more than 1,443 conferences, selected after a detailed and robust analysis of over 14,323 scientific documents published in the last three years by 12,755 recognized and influential scientists within the field. Such comprehensive vetting ensures that only conferences demonstrating enduring quality and scholarly significance are featured.

This in-depth evaluation process underscores the expertise and commitment of the Research.com team in providing a credible, thoroughly-researched guide for scholars and professionals seeking the most impactful forums for scientific exchange in Materials Science.

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.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at CPMT Symposium Japan (based on the number of publications) are:

• Takaaki Ishigure (5 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition,
• Yoshinari Ikeda (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
• Hiroyuki Yotsuyanagi (2 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
• Bo Zhou (2 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
• Makoto Yoshida (2 papers) published 2 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at CPMT Symposium Japan (based on the number of publications) are:

• Keio University (5 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition,
• Waseda University (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
• University of Tokyo (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
• National Central University (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
• National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (2 papers) published 2 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, 19.40% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 42.59% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 25.93% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 31.48% of all publications and 0.00% 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.
