International Electric Machines and Drives Conference (IEMDC)

This ranking provides a comprehensive list of scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology, meticulously curated to offer valuable insights for researchers, institutions, and professionals alike. The ranking is the result of extensive research conducted by Research.com, one of the leading websites for science research across all major fields, including Engineering and Technology. Since 2014, Research.com has been dedicated to providing trusted and authoritative data on scientific contributions, reinforcing its reputation as a reliable source in the academic community.

Each conference’s position in the ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score is meticulously computed using two primary indicators: the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have presented or contributed to the conference during the last three years. This method ensures that the ranking reflects not only the volume but also the impact and quality of scientific activity associated with each event.

The Impact Score values presented in this ranking were gathered on 2024-11-27. The ranking process began with a comprehensive examination of more than 2,262 conferences, each selected after a rigorous and detailed review. The analysis incorporated over 26,934 scientific documents published within the last three years, authored and reviewed by 9,385 leading and highly-respected scientists in the realm of Engineering and Technology. Such meticulous scrutiny underscores the depth and complexity that characterize the assessment process undertaken by Research.com’s expert team.

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, 7.37% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.05% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 11.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.08% of all publications and 43.54% 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.
