International Conference on Biomedical Robotics & Biomechatronics (BioRob)

This comprehensive ranking presents a detailed evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, compiled by Research.com, a distinguished platform recognized for providing trusted and authoritative data on scientific research across all major fields since 2014. The ranking leverages Research.com’s unique bibliometric score, a metric carefully designed to reflect conference stature by incorporating both the estimated h-index and the presence of leading scientists at each conference over the last three years.

The Impact Score values featured in this ranking were gathered on 2024-11-27, ensuring that the data reflects the most recent scientific contributions and conference activity. The assessment process involved the rigorous examination of more than 2,742 conferences, meticulously selected for inclusion only after in-depth inspection of over 148,739 scientific documents published within the past three years. This extensive review was conducted by evaluating the work of 13,184 leading and esteemed scientists in the area of Computer Science, underscoring both the breadth and scholarly authority underpinning this ranking.

Positions in this ranking are a result of a robust analytical process and the application of advanced, expert-driven methodologies to ensure that the outcomes are accurate, credible, and valuable for academics, practitioners, and decision-makers. For a thorough explanation of the methods employed to compute the ranking scores and further insights into the metrics used, we invite readers to visit 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.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (based on the number of publications) are:

• Paolo Dario (46 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Eugenio Guglielmelli (29 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Hermano Igo Krebs (27 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
• Cecilia Laschi (26 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Robert Riener (24 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 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 IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (based on the number of publications) are:

• Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies (81 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
• University of Twente (71 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 17 less than at the previous edition,
• Waseda University (56 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
• Massachusetts Institute of Technology (53 papers) published 16 papers at the last edition, 11 more than at the previous edition,
• Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (50 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 1 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 2020 edition, 3.06% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.79% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 5.79% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 21.05% of all publications and 47.37% 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.
