Overview

This comprehensive ranking presents a curated list of scientific conferences within the field of Engineering and Technology. Developed by Research.com, a prominent platform recognized for delivering authoritative data on scientific contributions since 2014, this ranking aims to offer the academic community reliable insight into the most impactful venues in Engineering and Technology research.

Each conference’s position in the ranking is determined by a proprietary bibliometric score devised by Research.com experts. This unique score incorporates the estimated h-index and the participation of leading scientists at each conference over the previous three years, thereby reflecting both impact and the influence of distinguished contributors. The ranking draws upon Impact Score values collected as of 2024-11-27.

To ensure the highest level of accuracy and credibility, the ranking process involved a thorough review of over 2,262 conferences. This selection was made after meticulous analysis of more than 26,934 scientific documents published within the last three years by 9,385 eminent experts in Engineering and Technology. This rigorous and exhaustive methodology underscores Research.com’s commitment to providing an evidence-based, substantive evaluation of the leading conferences in the discipline.

For a detailed overview of the methodology and the exhaustive process undertaken 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 North American Power Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Lingling Fan (9 papers) published 9 papers at the last edition,
  • Jignesh Solanki (8 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition,
  • Badrul H. Chowdhury (8 papers) published 8 papers at the last edition,
  • Virgilio A. Centeno (7 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition,
  • Amin Khodaei (7 papers) published 7 papers 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 North American Power Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University of North Carolina at Charlotte (18 papers) published 18 papers at the last edition,
  • University of Denver (17 papers) published 17 papers at the last edition,
  • West Virginia University (15 papers) published 15 papers at the last edition,
  • Virginia Tech (11 papers) published 11 papers at the last edition,
  • University of South Florida (10 papers) published 10 papers 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 2017 edition, 2.81% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 42.15% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 16.53% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.97% of all publications and 17.36% 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

Exploring online degrees in Electronics and Electrical Engineering opens up diverse career opportunities. Many students appreciate the flexibility offered by self paced online colleges, allowing them to balance studies with work or personal commitments. This approach is especially beneficial in technical fields that require hands-on experience alongside theoretical learning.

Choosing the right program can be challenging, but some of the best online colleges with no application fee help reduce financial barriers for prospective students. This makes pursuing a degree more accessible and cost-effective, which is crucial when considering long-term education investments.

While Electronics and Electrical Engineering degrees are vital in technology sectors, related healthcare pathways like medical coding are also popular online options. Understanding how much does it cost to become a medical coder can guide students interested in shifting to allied health professions that offer strong job growth.

For those seeking rapid career transitions, programs such as ma to lpn pathways provide efficient routes into healthcare, showcasing the value of online education across various fields. Overall, online learning presents flexible, affordable options in both engineering and allied health careers.
