This comprehensive ranking lists prominent scientific conferences in the field of Materials Science, offering valuable insights for researchers, academics, and professionals seeking leading venues to present and discuss breakthrough contributions. The ranking is curated by Research.com, recognized as one of the leading platforms for scientific research across all major disciplines, renowned for providing trusted and up-to-date scientific data since 2014.
The position of each conference in this ranking is determined by a meticulously developed bibliometric score, a unique metric created by Research.com. This score integrates the estimated h-index as well as the number of distinguished scientists who have participated in the conference during the preceding three years, ensuring a balanced and robust assessment of scientific excellence and influence.
Data for the Impact Score values reflected in the ranking were collected as of 2024-11-27, emphasizing the currency and reliability of the evaluation. The ranking was established through an exhaustive process, wherein over 1,443 conferences were meticulously reviewed and selected following extensive inspection of more than 14,323 scientific documents. These publications were authored over the past three years by 12,755 internationally recognized and well-respected scientists specializing in Materials Science.
The depth of analysis and the rigorous standards applied to both document and conference selection underscore the credibility and authority of this ranking, making it a valuable resource for the global Materials Science community. For further information on the methodology used to compute conference ranking scores, please refer to our Methodology Page.
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 Holm Conference on Electrical Contacts (based on the number of publications) are:
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 Holm Conference on Electrical Contacts (based on the number of publications) are:
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.
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, 15.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 63.64% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 22.73% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.64% of all publications and 0.00% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
Materials Science is a versatile field, and its principles often intersect with various online degree options that can broaden career prospects. For those interested in educational roles, pursuing the instructional design degree online offers a pathway into curriculum development and training, combining materials knowledge with teaching skills.
Creatives who appreciate the aesthetics of materials might explore fields like photography, with options such as online photography degrees for veterans providing specialized training. Such programs can complement a scientific background with artistic talents.
Materials Science graduates who identify as introverts may wonder about fitting career options. Fortunately, there are good jobs for introverts that rely on research, analysis, and innovation—ideal for those who prefer focused, independent work.
Lastly, for those interested in applying material knowledge to healthcare or child development, understanding the role and child specialist salary expectations can guide career decisions in specialized support fields.
