Overview

This comprehensive ranking presents a curated list of scientific conferences within the field of Engineering and Technology. Developed by Research.com, a prominent resource renowned since 2014 for delivering trusted data on scientific achievements across all major disciplines, the ranking aims to guide researchers, academics, and professionals in identifying leading venues for scholarly contribution and engagement.

The ranking methodology employed by Research.com utilizes a proprietary bibliometric score, specifically devised to ensure an objective and thorough assessment of conference influence and academic relevance. The position of each conference in this listing is determined by a unique score that integrates key factors: the estimated h-index of the conference and the number of leading scientists who have participated in the conference during the previous three years. This dual-metric approach ensures both the academic impact and the caliber of contributors are rigorously evaluated.

Impact Score values were assembled on 2024-11-27, ensuring that the ranking reflects the most recent data available. The selection and ranking process was extensive, encompassing an examination of more than 2,262 conferences. These conferences were meticulously chosen following a detailed analysis of over 26,934 scientific documents published within the last three years by 9,385 eminent and respected scientists specializing in Engineering and Technology. This depth of analysis highlights the commitment to accuracy and excellence championed by Research.com experts.

To understand the full complexity of the bibliometric calculations and decision criteria underpinning this ranking, readers are invited to consult the detailed explanation available 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.

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

  • Lingjiang Kong (51 papers) published 25 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Guolong Cui (46 papers) published 21 papers at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
  • Wei Yi (36 papers) published 19 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • Xiaobo Yang (22 papers) published 13 papers at the last edition, 4 more than at the previous edition,
  • Muralidhar Rangaswamy (19 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous 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 Radar Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Air Force Research Laboratory (50 papers) published 22 papers at the last edition, 6 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (38 papers) published 38 papers at the last edition,
  • United States Naval Research Laboratory (29 papers) published 17 papers at the last edition, 5 more than at the previous edition,
  • University College London (24 papers) published 17 papers at the last edition, 10 more than at the previous edition,
  • Ohio State University (22 papers) published 10 papers at the last edition, 2 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 2015 edition, 9.69% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 36.91% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 13.61% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.73% of all publications and 27.75% 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 career in Electronics and Electrical Engineering often begins with foundational education, but many professionals also explore alternative online options to enhance their skills or pivot within the industry. For those seeking quick credentials to boost their employability, exploring certificate programs online can be a strategic move. These certifications offer focused expertise without the time commitment of full degrees.

If you’re considering broader academic paths, some students opt for the easiest bachelor degree to get online to balance workload and learning flexibility. While these degrees may not specialize deeply in engineering, they can complement technical jobs by developing business or project management skills.

For those at an earlier stage or looking for a cost-effective option, associate degree online programs provide a solid groundwork in engineering principles, preparing students for entry-level roles or transfer to four-year programs.

Finally, advancing to leadership or specialized roles often requires advanced study. Many students find value in affordable online master's programs that offer industry-relevant curricula without the hefty price tag, making higher education more accessible for working professionals.
