Overview

The ranking presented on this page offers an authoritative evaluation of scientific conferences within the field of Engineering and Technology. This comprehensive assessment has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, recognized as a leading resource for science research across all major academic disciplines. Since 2014, Research.com has been committed to providing trusted and actionable data on scientific contributions and advancements, particularly within the vital areas of Engineering and Technology.

Each conference's position in this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed exclusively by Research.com. This score is computed using a rigorous formula that incorporates the estimated h-index alongside the number of distinguished leading scientists who have participated in the conference over the last three years. Such a multifaceted approach allows for a holistic and robust analysis of conference impact and scientific excellence.

Impact Score values for this ranking were carefully gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the data reflects the most current state of scientific achievements and collaborations. The ranking process involved an exhaustive examination of more than 2,262 conferences, selected following a detailed and critical inspection of conference quality. This selection process was underpinned by the analysis of over 26,934 scientific documents published within the preceding three years by as many as 9,385 leading and highly respected scientists in the field of Engineering and Technology.

This in-depth analysis demonstrates the dedication and expertise of the Research.com team in presenting a credible and meaningful ranking, underpinned by data-driven insights and scholarly integrity. For readers interested in learning more about the advanced methodology and the specific criteria applied in computing the conference ranking scores, comprehensive details are available 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 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Erik Blasch (32 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Zhaoda Zhu (30 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Sun Zhongkang (29 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Robert L. Ewing (28 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Guru Subramanyam (21 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 2 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 National Aerospace and Electronics Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Wright State University (145 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Air Force Research Laboratory (137 papers) published 20 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Air Force Institute of Technology (99 papers) published 12 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Dayton (93 papers) published 26 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • National University of Defense Technology (76 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 2016 edition, 2.25% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 67.82% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 10.34% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 6.90% of all publications and 14.94% 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
