IEEE International Conference on Trust, Security and Privacy in Computing and Communications (TrustCom)

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences within the field of Engineering and Technology. Developed by Research.com, one of the foremost online resources for scientific research and analytics since 2014, the ranking leverages years of trusted expertise in delivering reliable data on scientific contributions across numerous disciplines, including Engineering and Technology.

The position of each conference in the ranking is determined using a unique bibliometric score devised by Research.com’s data science team. This scoring methodology incorporates a proprietary calculation based on both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have appeared at each conference during the preceding three years. To ensure accuracy and relevance, all Impact Score values featured in the ranking were compiled as of 2024-11-27.

The rigorous process behind the compilation of this ranking involved the careful examination of more than 2,262 conferences, selected through a stringent scrutiny of over 26,934 published scientific documents from the past three years. This extensive analysis was further enriched by the contributions of 9,385 leading and esteemed scientists in Engineering and Technology, ensuring a data-driven and representative view of the current landscape of scientific meetings in the discipline.

For an in-depth explanation of the methodologies used in calculating these conference rankings and scores, including detailed breakdowns of bibliometric evaluations and data sources, 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.

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, 9.55% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 26.76% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 2.82% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.06% of all publications and 44.37% 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.
