Overview

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences within the field of Engineering and Technology. Compiled by Research.com, a recognized leader in providing authoritative science research data since 2014, this ranking leverages an in-depth, bibliometric-based approach to identify the most influential conferences and their contributions to the scientific community.

Conferences have been ranked according to a unique bibliometric score, meticulously developed by Research.com experts. This score incorporates both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference during the preceding three years, ensuring a robust and multidimensional assessment of influence and prestige.

The impact scores reflected in this ranking were gathered on 2024-11-27, representing the most recent and relevant data available. The selection and ranking process entailed a comprehensive review of over 2,262 conferences, which were chosen following a rigorous and systematic analysis. This involved an exhaustive inspection of more than 26,934 scientific documents produced by an impressive cohort of 9,385 leading and well-respected scientists specializing in Engineering and Technology over the last three years.

Such depth and complexity in the methodology underscores the commitment to accuracy and reliability in our ranking, ensuring that it remains a trusted resource for academics, researchers, and professionals worldwide.

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 top authors publishing at IEEE Photonics Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • John E. Bowers (51 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Martin D. Dawson (49 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
  • Joe C. Campbell (41 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • José Azaña (37 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Nelson Tansu (29 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.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at IEEE Photonics Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • McGill University (89 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of California, Santa Barbara (86 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign (83 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Central Florida (72 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Strathclyde (57 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 8 less than at the previous 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 2021 edition, 66.67% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 100.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 0.00% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering opens up diverse opportunities. For those balancing other commitments, considering programs designed for specific groups, such as online schools for military spouses, can offer the flexibility and support needed to succeed.

Some students prefer programs with alternative requirements. For example, educational professionals aiming to advance might explore edd without dissertation options, which can reduce the time and challenge associated with traditional research commitments.

When selecting a degree, ease of completion is often a priority. If you're exploring various fields, it's helpful to review lists of the easy bachelor's degree options available online, which can guide decisions based on workload and complexity.

Another interdisciplinary pathway involves forensic science, which intersects with engineering and technology. Interested students can investigate forensic science online degree programs that offer accessible, cost-effective training.

Exploring these related degrees and pathways can help tailor your educational journey and broaden career prospects in tech-driven industries.
