IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical and Health Informatics (BHI)

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page offers a comprehensive evaluation of leading events in the field of Engineering and Technology. Developed by Research.com, a premier authority in science research and analytics since 2014, this ranking reflects Research.com’s ongoing commitment to delivering trusted data on scientific contributions across all major disciplines.

Each conference’s position within this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score specifically designed by Research.com. This score is computed using a combination of the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in the conference during the preceding three years, allowing for an accurate and multi-dimensional measure of each event’s impact.

The current ranking incorporates Impact Score values as gathered on 2024-11-27, ensuring an up-to-date reflection of each conference’s scientific influence. The underlying evaluation meticulously examined more than 2,262 conferences, selected through a rigorous vetting process and an exhaustive analysis of over 26,934 scientific documents. These documents were authored by a distinguished group of 9,385 leading scientists, recognized for their significant and respected contributions within Engineering and Technology.

The result is a highly credible and nuanced ranking that provides valuable insight for academics, researchers, and practitioners in the field. For a detailed description of the procedures and standards used in compiling the ranking, 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.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at Biomedical and Health Informatics (based on the number of publications) are:

• Ioanna Chouvarda (10 papers) published 10 papers at the last edition,
• Nikos Maglaveras (5 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition,
• Pedro Fonseca (3 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• Alejandro Manas Garcia (3 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Benny Lo (3 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Biomedical and Health Informatics (based on the number of publications) are:

• Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (12 papers) published 12 papers at the last edition,
• University of Coimbra (6 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (5 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Eindhoven University of Technology (5 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
• Philips (5 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less 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, 8.70% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 54.76% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 19.05% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.67% 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.

Career Opportunities in Health Informatics
