IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)

This comprehensive ranking presents a curated list of scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology, offering valuable insights into the landscape of advanced research dissemination and professional networking opportunities. Compiled by Research.com, a leading and reputable platform dedicated to aggregating and analyzing scientific research contributions across major domains since 2014, the ranking leverages a data-driven approach to evaluate the impact and prestige of conferences within the discipline.

Positions within this ranking are determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com’s expert team. This score is calculated based on two core criteria: the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have presented at the conference over the preceding three years. This multifaceted metric captures both the scholarly influence and the caliber of contributors associated with each conference, ensuring a balanced and reliable assessment.

The ranking incorporates up-to-date Impact Score values, with data collected as of 2024-11-27. The process involved a thorough review of over 2,262 conferences, each selected following an extensive, detail-oriented evaluation of more than 26,934 scientific documents published within the last three years. These documents represent the scholarly output of 9,385 leading and highly respected scientists operating in the Engineering and Technology sector. Such rigorous analysis underscores the commitment to accuracy and depth, further reinforcing the credibility of the results.

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.

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, 15.13% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 54.87% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 8.36% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.70% of all publications and 25.07% 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.
