2026 IEEE 76th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC 2026) (ECTC)

The ranking presented on this page showcases a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences within the domain of Engineering and Technology. This authoritative list has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, a leading platform recognized for providing trusted and insightful data on scientific contributions across all major research fields, including Engineering and Technology, since 2014.

Each conference’s position in the ranking is determined using a unique bibliometric score devised by Research.com, which incorporates both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in the conference over the previous three years. The Impact Score values included in this ranking were collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the most up-to-date and relevant assessment.

The rigorous ranking process involved a thorough examination of more than 2,262 conferences. These events were selected after a detailed and methodical review of over 26,934 scientific documents published in the last three years by 9,385 distinguished scientists within the field of Engineering and Technology. This depth of analysis underscores the commitment of our expert team to providing a credible and meaningful evaluation of research excellence.

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.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at Electronic Components and Technology Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

• Rao Tummala (201 papers) published 17 papers at the last edition, 6 less than at the previous edition,
• Venky Sundaram (118 papers) published 10 papers at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition,
• C.P. Wong (107 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 2 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Electronic Components and Technology Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

• Georgia Institute of Technology (660 papers) published 35 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• IBM (371 papers) published 18 papers at the last edition, 5 less than at the previous edition,
• Intel (219 papers) published 9 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
• KAIST (175 papers) published 11 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
• Fraunhofer Society (131 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition, 1 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 2017 edition, 9.31% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 38.74% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 10.26% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.53% of all publications and 30.46% 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.
