Overview

The following ranking presents a meticulously evaluated list of leading scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology. This authoritative ranking has been prepared by Research.com, recognized as one of the leading websites supporting scientific research across all major disciplines, including Engineering and Technology, and providing reliable data on scientific contributions since 2014.

Conference positions within the ranking are determined based on a unique and robust bibliometric score, developed independently by Research.com. This score integrates both the estimated h-index and the number of distinguished scientists who have participated in each conference over the preceding three years, offering a comprehensive and credible assessment of scientific influence and leadership.

The Impact Score values reflected in this ranking were collected on 2024-11-27, ensuring the most current and relevant evaluation of conferences available. The ranking process entailed the thorough examination of more than 2,262 conferences, each carefully selected through an in-depth review and rigorous analysis of over 26,934 scientific documents published within the last three years. Contributions from 9,385 of the most respected and accomplished scientists in Engineering and Technology were considered, underscoring the rigorous standards and extensive scope of the assessment.

Further details regarding the methodology and criteria used to compute the ranking scores are available for review on 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 Moratuwa Engineering Research Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Indika Perera (27 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • Surangika Ranathunga (25 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • D.A.S. Amarasinghe (25 papers) published 9 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • Mahinsasa Narayana (21 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • Dinesh Attygalle (18 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 3 more 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 Moratuwa Engineering Research Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of Moratuwa (609 papers) published 107 papers at the last edition, 12 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Sri Jayewardenepura (27 papers) published 10 papers at the last edition, 5 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Peradeniya (22 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 3 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Ruhuna (14 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Akron (9 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 2021 edition, 2.99% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 93.08% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 4.62% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 1.54% of all publications and 0.77% 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 those exploring Electronics and Electrical Engineering in the USA, online degrees offer flexible pathways to enhance skills and advance careers. Many students consider complementary fields such as organizational leadership to broaden their professional scope. Pursuing an online masters in leadership can prepare engineers for management roles and boost career prospects.

Choosing the right institution is crucial. Students often look for programs offered by the top 10 online colleges to ensure quality education and accredited credentials. These colleges often provide resources tailored for online learners balancing study with work commitments.

Additionally, some professionals seek to expand their expertise into counseling or psychology fields, complementing technical skills with human-centered approaches. Exploring an online psyd programs may be an option for engineers interested in mental health or organizational wellbeing.

For those concerned about admission barriers, programs classified as the easiest msw online program offer accessible pathways into social work, which can blend uniquely with technical expertise in community or industrial settings.
