Overview

The Computer Science conference ranking presented on this page is the result of an extensive and meticulous evaluation by Research.com, a trusted leader in science research since 2014. Research.com is renowned for providing reliable data and analysis across all major fields, including Computer Science, and has built a reputation for the accuracy and integrity of its scientific metrics.

This ranking is based on a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com, which combines the estimated h-index with the number of leading scientists who have participated in conference events over the last three years. The Impact Score values reflected in this ranking were collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the timeliness and relevance of the data for the academic community.

To achieve a comprehensive and objective ranking, our experts undertook a detailed examination of more than 2,742 conferences in the field of Computer Science. This process involved an in-depth analysis of over 148,739 scientific documents published in the past three years, authored by a select group of 13,184 leading and highly respected scientists. These stringent selection and evaluation steps highlight the thoroughness and depth of research that underpin this ranking, making it a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and institutions alike.

For a detailed explanation of the methodology and the computation of the ranking scores, please refer to 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 Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Informatics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Hans L. Bodlaender (6 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Friedrich Otto (6 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Shunsuke Inenaga (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Dennis Komm (4 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Marián Šimko (4 papers) published 1 paper at the last 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 Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of Informatics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • ETH Zurich (16 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava (13 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • University of Latvia (11 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Czech Technical University in Prague (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Charles University in Prague (9 papers) published 1 paper at the last 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, 5.26% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 8.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 8.33% of all publications and 58.33% 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 those interested in expanding their knowledge beyond traditional computer science, pursuing specialized online degrees can open new career avenues. A masters in data analytics provides advanced skills in interpreting complex datasets—a valuable asset in many tech-driven industries.

Similarly, a doctorate in data analytics online equips professionals for leadership roles in research and data strategy, blending technical expertise with innovative problem-solving.

Beyond pure data fields, degrees like what can you do with a bioinformatics degree highlight the growing intersection between computer science and biology, offering careers in healthcare data analysis, genetics, and biotechnology.

For those leaning towards the health sector, exploring online healthcare programs can provide flexible pathways into medical and allied health professions, often integrating technology with clinical practice.
