Conference Call for Papers
At IMS2023 we will have several focus themes to highlight a number of areas of RF and microwave engineering that
are of topical interest or impact. These themes are:
Systems & Applications
The development of RF, microwave, mm-wave and THz systems continues to expand
in several areas, with many application examples. This broad topic can encompass
design from semiconductor through device and module through to the overall system
and applications. We are giving particular focus to:
Wireless Communications, including 6G developments, Wi-Fi, RF and microwave
system-on-chip integration, massive MIMO systems and subsystems
Wireless Power Transfer;
Automotive Systems;
Model-Based Systems Engineering.
Space
In this area of Aerospace we are specifically calling out ‘Space’ as a focus theme.
This can include such topics as: satellite communications, design for reliability,
radiation hardness, internet of space systems, CubeSats.
Biomedical Applications
Illustrating the use of RF and microwave techniques and technology in biomedical
applications.
These technical themes will be identified with different days of the conference, and
will comprise special Focused Technical Paper Sessions, Panel Sessions, Invited
Speakers, and Workshops. The Exhibition will feature a Systems Pavilion illustrating
several practical examples of RF through THz systems and applications.
Authors are encouraged to submit technical papers in these themed topics.
In addition to this Call for Technical Papers, there will also be Calls for Focus and
Special Sessions Proposals, Panel Session Proposals, and Workshop Proposals.
Prospective organizers of these events are encouraged to target the conference
themes. The submission date for these proposal is 16 September 2022.
RF & Microwaves in Latin America
In addition to the above technical themes, IMS2023 will feature a Focus Technical
Paper Session to celebrate “RF and Microwaves in Latin America.” This session is
being championed by Professor Jose Rayas-Sanchez and Professor Apolinar
Reynoso-Hernandez. There will also be a Latin America Pavilion in the Exhibition,
and the Latin America flavor will run through the whole of IMS2023.

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.

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.
Research.com
During the most recent 2021 edition, 25.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 33.33% 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 66.67% 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).
