International Conference on Underwater Networks & Systems (WUWNet)

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, meticulously compiled by Research.com—a prominent resource committed to delivering authoritative data on scientific achievements across all major disciplines, including Computer Science, since 2014. Recognized for its rigorous standards and depth of analysis, Research.com ensures that its rankings are both credible and impactful for scholars, professionals, and institutions worldwide.

The position of each conference in this ranking is determined by a distinctive bibliometric score, innovatively developed by Research.com. This score is calculated based on two principal metrics: the estimated h-index, which gauges the productivity and citation impact of publications, and the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference over the past three years. Together, these factors reflect both the scientific influence and the recognition garnered by the conferences within the research community.

The Impact Score values presented in this ranking have been collected as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that the data reflects the most current trends and achievements in the field. The comprehensive ranking process involved the careful examination of more than 2,742 conferences. Candidates for inclusion were selected following an exhaustive review, which entailed the detailed inspection of over 148,739 scientific documents published in the last three years by 13,184 preeminent Computer Science experts.

This thorough approach underscores the depth and complexity of the analysis conducted by the experienced team at Research.com. To provide full transparency and foster greater understanding of the ranking’s methodology, detailed information is available on our Methodology Page. Here, readers can find an in-depth explanation of the processes and criteria used to compute the ranking scores.

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 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, 2.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 40.48% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 19.05% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 16.67% of all publications and 23.81% 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.
