Overview

This comprehensive ranking presents a list of scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology, curated to assist researchers, scholars, and professionals in identifying events distinguished for their academic excellence and impact. The ranking is compiled by Research.com, a prominent and trusted authority in science research across a spectrum of disciplines, including Engineering and Technology. Since 2014, Research.com has been committed to providing reliable data on scientific contributions and achievements.

Each conference's position in the ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score reflects a sophisticated evaluation combining the estimated h-index of conferences and the number of recognized leading scientists who have contributed to or appeared at the conference over the preceding three years. The methodology ensures a precise and objective assessment of the academic influence and standing of each event.

The Impact Score values featured in this ranking were collected on 2024-11-27, ensuring that the evaluation is based on the most current and relevant data available. The selection and ranking process involved a rigorous analysis of more than 2,262 conferences. These conferences were shortlisted following an exhaustive review of over 26,934 scientific documents published by 9,385 acclaimed and influential scientists within the last three years in the domain of Engineering and Technology.

This detailed and methodologically robust approach underscores the depth of research and the expert-led analysis underpinning the ranking. For further information about the calculation of bibliometric scores and specifics on the ranking methodology, please refer to 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 Electric Ship Technologies Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Roger A. Dougal (32 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Michael Steurer (32 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Scott D. Sudhoff (23 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • Noel N. Schulz (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Chris S. Edrington (17 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 5 more than at the previous 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 Electric Ship Technologies Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Florida State University (82 papers) published 22 papers at the last edition, 5 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of South Carolina (47 papers) published 9 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • Mississippi State University (46 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Texas at Austin (34 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Purdue University (33 papers) published 13 papers at the last edition, 6 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 2017 edition, 2.91% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 68.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 7.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.00% of all publications and 11.00% 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.
