Call for Papers

The ISPLC will focus on key aspects of communications theory, algorithms, standards, implementations, measurements, evaluation of field trials and network operation pertaining to communications via power lines. The traditional strength of ISPLC is a high industry participation, and bringing together researchers, practitioners and users of power line communication technology is a main objective for IEEE ISPLC 2021.

Overview

This page presents a comprehensive ranking of scientific conferences in the field of Electronics and Electrical Engineering. The ranking is meticulously curated by Research.com, a leading authority in science research and data-driven analysis across major scientific disciplines, including Electronics and Electrical Engineering. Since 2014, Research.com has provided reliable and insightful data on scientific contributions worldwide.

Conference positions in the ranking are determined according to a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com experts. This score is calculated using a combination of the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference over the previous three years. The Impact Score values featured in this ranking reflect the most recent data collected as of 2024-11-27.

The ranking process was rigorous and far-reaching, encompassing an initial assessment of more than 2,204 scientific conferences within the discipline. These conferences were selected following a detailed and systematic review of over 95,378 scientific documents published by 6,160 leading and well-respected scientists in Electronics and Electrical Engineering in the last three years. Each conference's standing is thus the result of an in-depth, evidence-based analysis performed by experienced research professionals, ensuring that the ranking serves as a credible and authoritative resource for the scientific community.

For a thorough explanation of the methodology and criteria used to compute the ranking scores, please refer to 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 Symposium on Power Line Communications and Its Applications (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Hendrik C. Ferreira (49 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Andrea M. Tonello (38 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Lutz Lampe (29 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Moisés Vidal Ribeiro (27 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • A. J. Han Vinck (26 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous 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 top affiliations publishing at International Symposium on Power Line Communications and Its Applications (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Johannesburg (53 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Duisburg-Essen (38 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of British Columbia (29 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (25 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Udine (23 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 2018 edition, 8.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 45.45% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 18.18% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.64% of all publications and 22.73% 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.
