IEEE ICEBE 2026 — IEEE International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE)

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, curated to guide researchers, academics, and industry professionals in identifying the most impactful venues for scholarly exchange. The ranking has been meticulously assembled by Research.com, one of the leading platforms in the scientific research community, recognized for providing reliable data on scientific achievements across all major fields, including Computer Science, since 2014.

Each conference’s position within the ranking is determined by a distinctive bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This proprietary metric integrates both the estimated h-index and the number of preeminent scientists who have participated in each conference over the preceding three years, ensuring that the assessment captures not only historical impact but also recent scientific leadership and influence.

Impact Score values reflected in this ranking were collected as of November 27th, 2024, assuring stakeholders of the timeliness and relevance of the data. The ranking process encompassed a thorough examination of more than 2,742 conferences, chosen after an exhaustive review and rigorous analysis of over 148,739 scientific documents published in the past three years. Contributions from 13,184 distinguished and widely respected scientists in the realm of Computer Science were considered, reinforcing the credibility and depth of the analysis.

To ensure full transparency and foster confidence in the methodology underpinning our rankings, more detailed information regarding the scoring and evaluation process can be found on 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 International Conference on e-Business Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

• Kuo-Ming Chao (16 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Jingzhi Guo (14 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
• Dickson K.W. Chiu (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Chunhui Piao (10 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Raymond Y. K. Lau (10 papers) absent 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 International Conference on e-Business Engineering (based on the number of publications) are:

• Coventry University (27 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition,
• Tsinghua University (20 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
• University of Macau (20 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
• City University of Hong Kong (14 papers) published 1 paper 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, 14.89% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 42.50% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 7.50% 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 30.00% 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.
