Overview

The conference ranking presented on this page highlights leading scientific conferences in the field of Electronics and Electrical Engineering. Developed by Research.com, a recognized authority providing trusted data on scientific contributions since 2014, this ranking reflects a rigorous and in-depth evaluation of events advancing research in this domain.

The ranking methodology is grounded in a unique bibliometric score, meticulously devised by Research.com. This score incorporates the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have contributed to or appeared at each conference during the preceding three years. By integrating these metrics, the ranking delivers a robust and objective assessment of conference impact and prominence within the scientific community.

The Impact Score values included here were collected on 2024-11-27, ensuring that the information is both current and relevant for researchers and professionals. The comprehensive ranking process entailed the examination of more than 2,204 conferences, which were selected following a detailed inspection and thorough analysis of over 95,378 scientific documents published in the last three years. The evaluation drew upon the scholarly contributions of 6,160 leading and highly respected scientists specializing in Electronics and Electrical Engineering. This extensive and intricate process underscores the depth of research and expertise involved in creating this authoritative ranking.

For a more detailed account of the methodology used to compute the ranking scores, please consult 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 IEEE Latin-American Conference on Communications (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Nelson L. S. da Fonseca (21 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Stefano Bregni (14 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Cesar A. Azurdia-Meza (13 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Carlos A. Gutierrez (7 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Claudio Estevez (7 papers) published 1 paper 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 top affiliations publishing at IEEE Latin-American Conference on Communications (based on the number of publications) are:

  • State University of Campinas (48 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 7 less than at the previous edition,

  • Polytechnic University of Milan (19 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • University of São Paulo (19 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous 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 2020 edition, 2.99% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 23.08% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 12.31% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 24.62% of all publications and 40.00% 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.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For students interested in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career pathways. Many universities now offer self paced online universities options, giving learners the flexibility to balance studies with work or personal commitments without compromising on quality education.

Additionally, prospective students can benefit from programs at no application fee colleges, reducing financial barriers to entry and making higher education more accessible.

For those interested in medical technology applications within engineering, certifications such as medical coding certification provide a pathway to combine technical skills with healthcare industry knowledge.

Lastly, individuals looking to advance their technical careers might pursue bridge programs like the cma to lpn bridge program online, which offer targeted training and expand professional qualifications in health-related fields.
