International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modelling (ONDM)

The ranking presented on this page highlights the leading scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology, meticulously curated to assist researchers, academics, and industry professionals in identifying the most impactful venues for their work. This ranking is the result of a comprehensive evaluation conducted by Research.com, a leading authority in science research data since 2014, renowned for its commitment to accuracy and reliability across all major scientific disciplines, including Engineering and Technology.

Conferences are ranked according to a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com, designed to provide an objective measure of conference impact within the academic community. This score is calculated by integrating the estimated h-index and the number of distinguished scientists who have participated in each conference during the previous three years. The ranking is underpinned by Impact Score values that were systematically compiled as of 2024-11-27.

The analytical process underpinning the ranking involved an exhaustive review of more than 2,262 conferences. These were selected following a stringent examination of over 26,934 scientific documents published in the last three years, produced by 9,385 leading and highly respected scientists specializing in Engineering and Technology. This rigorous methodology ensures that only conferences of the highest caliber are recognized, reflecting both academic excellence and influence within the scientific community.

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 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 Optical Network Design and Modelling (based on the number of publications) are:

• Polytechnic University of Catalonia (24 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Telefónica (16 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• University of Essex (12 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies (12 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
• Ghent University (10 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 2017 edition, 5.26% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 30.56% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 19.44% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.44% of all publications and 30.56% 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.
