IEEE Symposium Series On Computational Intelligence (SSCI)

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page provides a comprehensive evaluation of conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology. This ranking has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, a leading portal renowned for delivering reliable and in-depth data on scientific contributions across all major disciplines, including Engineering and Technology, since 2014.

Each conference's position within the ranking is determined using a proprietary bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This unique metric is calculated based on the estimated h-index and the number of distinguished scientists who have contributed to or presented at the conference over the past three years. This rigorous analysis ensures that only the most prestigious and impactful conferences are recognized.

The ranking incorporates Impact Score values collected as of 2024-11-27. The evaluation process involved the thorough examination of more than 2,262 conferences, selected following an exhaustive and precise review of over 26,934 scientific documents published over the last three years. These documents represent the contributions of 9,385 leading and highly respected scientists specializing in Engineering and Technology.

The selection and ranking processes reflect an extensive and detailed approach conducted by experts, emphasizing both the depth of research and the analytical complexity required to present truly trusted and authoritative results. For a comprehensive explanation of the methodology used to compute the ranking scores, please consult 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 2020 edition, 4.56% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.10% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 6.53% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 7.54% of all publications and 65.83% 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.
