IEEE International Conference on Advanced Robotics and Mechatronics (ICARM)

This ranking provides a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology, offering an authoritative resource for academics, researchers, and professionals seeking to identify premier venues for presenting and discovering groundbreaking research. Curated by Research.com—an esteemed platform recognized since 2014 for its rigorous and trusted analysis of scientific contributions across all major disciplines—this ranking reflects a commitment to objectivity and thoroughness.

The conferences’ positions within this ranking are determined by a unique bibliometric score, an advanced metric developed by Research.com. This score is calculated based on the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference during the previous three years, ensuring a balanced assessment that captures both scholarly impact and the caliber of contributors.

Impact Score values featured in this ranking were gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that the data reflects the most recent and relevant scientific activity within the Engineering and Technology sector.

The evaluation process was grounded in a robust and meticulous methodology. Over 2,262 conferences were selected after an exhaustive examination, which involved the thorough analysis of more than 26,934 scientific documents published in the last three years. These works represent contributions from 9,385 distinguished and widely respected scientists in Engineering and Technology, underscoring the depth and breadth of this assessment.

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 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 2021 edition, 3.23% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 40.67% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 25.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.33% of all publications and 10.67% 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.
