Call for Papers

Social, Economic, and Environmental Prosperity are universally considered noble ideals for the Peoples, being elements of capital relevance to societies’ progress and sustainable development. The role of governance and government institutions in achieving this trilogy of prosperity dimensions is unquestionable. Also unquestionable is the basilar and catalysing role of Digital Technologies in the transformation and improvement of government operations and governance mechanisms.

Under the theme Digital Governance for Social, Economic, and Environmental Prosperity, the 15th edition of ICEGOV aims at contributing to the debate, reflection, knowledge generation, and systematisation and sharing on how digital technologies can be effectively harnessed to foster prosperity and development. At the same time, the conference will contribute towards a more inclusive, just, resilient and trustworthy world where no one is left behind, in a tight and proper alignment with the discussions and actions that have been instigated and promoted by the UN Secretary-General and Member-States. A multitude of topics is available for paper submission via the thematic tracks.

Overview

This comprehensive ranking features leading scientific conferences from the field of Business and Management, providing academics, researchers, and professionals with a trusted benchmark for conference quality and impact. The ranking has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, one of the foremost websites dedicated to science research across all major fields. Since 2014, Research.com has been a reliable provider of data on scientific contributions, earning the confidence of the international research community.

The conference positions in this ranking are determined by a unique bibliometric score, specifically developed by Research.com. This score is calculated using an assessment of the estimated h-index, complemented by the number of leading scientists who have participated in the conference over the last three years. This dual consideration ensures that both the influence of research published at the conference and the engagement of prominent experts are factored into the evaluation.

The Impact Score values reflected in this ranking were gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that the data is both current and relevant for the latest academic cycles. The methodology underlying this ranking involved the examination of more than 216 conferences, each rigorously selected following a thorough review process. This process included the detailed inspection and analysis of over 727 scientific documents published in the preceding three years by 2,177 highly respected and leading scientists operating in the Business and Management arena.

By integrating comprehensive bibliometric indicators and leveraging the expertise of acknowledged authorities in the field, this ranking offers a robust and nuanced perspective on the landscape of Business and Management conferences. For those interested in a more in-depth understanding of the methodology and the precise calculations employed in determining the ranking scores, full details are 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 Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Yannis Charalabidis (4 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition,
  • Charalampos Alexopoulos (4 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition,
  • Soumaya Ben Dhaou (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • Deepak Chandra Misra (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • Adegboyega Ojo (2 papers) published 2 papers 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 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, 21.95% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 48.44% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 17.19% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 29.69% of all publications and 4.69% 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.
