Overview

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences within the field of Engineering and Technology. Compiled by Research.com, a leading platform recognized for providing trusted data on scientific contributions across all major disciplines since 2014, this resource aims to assist researchers, academics, and professionals in identifying the most impactful conferences in the domain.

The ranking methodology is firmly grounded in a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score is calculated through a sophisticated analysis that considers the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference over the three most recent years. These metrics offer an insightful perspective into the scientific influence and the prominence of each conference.

Impact Score values provided in this ranking were meticulously gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the data reflects the latest developments and trends in Engineering and Technology research dissemination.

The rigorous evaluation process involved the examination of over 2,262 scientific conferences, meticulously selected following an exhaustive review of more than 26,934 scientific documents published in the preceding three years. This analysis incorporated the contributions of 9,385 distinguished and reputable scientists in the field, guaranteeing both the breadth and depth of the ranking’s scope.

Further details regarding the methodology employed in the computation of ranking scores, including criteria and data sources, can be accessed by visiting 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 Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Zhu Han (42 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Lajos Hanzo (39 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Khairi Ashour Hamdi (39 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 7 less than at the previous edition,
  • Zhiyong Feng (37 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
  • Dusit Niyato (33 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 more 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 Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (397 papers) published 64 papers at the last edition, 20 more than at the previous edition,
  • Tsinghua University (113 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,
  • National Chiao Tung University (106 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 8 less than at the previous edition,
  • Huawei (88 papers) published 20 papers at the last edition, 8 more than at the previous edition,
  • Southeast University (84 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition, 3 more 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 2019 edition, 3.66% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 24.18% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 5.87% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.44% of all publications and 57.51% 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

For students interested in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career opportunities. Many universities now offer flexible learning options, including accredited self-paced online colleges, allowing learners to balance their studies with work or personal commitments.

Affordability and access are key considerations. Prospective students should seek out online colleges with free applications to reduce upfront costs and increase accessibility to quality programs. This can be especially beneficial when exploring certificate or associate programs that complement an engineering background.

Additionally, related healthcare roles often intersect with technology, such as medical coding and billing. Individuals looking to pivot or expand their skillset may find value in medical billing and coding classes, which can be completed online at an affordable rate.

For those aiming for hands-on roles, programs like the ma to lpn bridge program online offer pathways to become licensed practical nurses, showcasing the diverse potential career pathways beyond traditional electrical engineering fields.
