Overview

This authoritative ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology. Developed by Research.com—one of the foremost platforms for science research, widely recognized for delivering trusted data on scientific contributions across major disciplines since 2014—the ranking underscores our commitment to transparency, accuracy, and scholarly excellence.

The position of each conference in this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score integrates estimated h-index values with the number of leading scientists who participated in each conference during the past three years, delivering a sophisticated and multidimensional assessment of conference impact and scientific influence.

All Impact Score values featured in this ranking were meticulously gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the most current and relevant evaluation. The ranking process entailed a rigorous selection, covering more than 2,262 conferences, which were shortlisted following a detailed inspection and critical review of over 26,934 scientific documents published by 9,385 prominent and highly respected scientists in Engineering and Technology over the last three years.

Our methodology involves an in-depth, systematic approach to ensure the integrity and reliability of the results. Each phase—ranging from data collection to score computation—has been guided by best practices and analytical rigor from seasoned experts in bibliometrics and the scholarly community.

To ensure complete transparency and to provide further insights into the analytical process, we invite readers to explore a detailed explanation of the methodology used for computing ranking scores, available on 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 International Conference on Optical Communications and Networks (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Xiangjun Xin (49 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Qi Zhang (40 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Qinghua Tian (40 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Feng Tian (33 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Kun Xu (32 papers) absent 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 International Conference on Optical Communications and Networks (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (262 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 92 less than at the previous edition,
  • China Jiliang University (98 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Chinese Academy of Sciences (79 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications (72 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Huazhong University of Science and Technology (68 papers) absent 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 2021 edition, 28.57% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 60.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 20.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 20.00% 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.
