nternational Conference on Social Robotics (ICSR)

The ranking featured on this page provides a comprehensive and authoritative assessment of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science. Compiled by Research.com, a recognized leader in delivering reliable data on scientific contributions across all major fields since 2014, this ranking aims to serve as a trusted resource for academics and professionals seeking to evaluate the impact of conferences within the Computer Science discipline.

Conference positions within the ranking are determined by a proprietary bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This unique metric is calculated using a combination of the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in each conference over the span of the last three years, ensuring a nuanced reflection of both scientific influence and researcher engagement.

The current Impact Score values presented in the ranking have been gathered as of 2024-11-27, underpinning the recency and relevance of the data. The meticulous ranking process involved the examination of more than 2,742 conferences, all selected following a detailed inspection and rigorous analysis of over 148,739 scientific documents published over the last three years by 13,184 leading and highly respected scientists in the domain of Computer Science.

This approach underscores the depth of research, the complexity of the analytical methodologies employed, and the expertise of the professionals involved in the creation of this ranking. Readers interested in further understanding the detailed methodology and the metrics used to compute the ranking scores are encouraged to 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.

Top authors and change over time

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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at International Conference on Social Robotics (based on the number of publications) are:

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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 18.03% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 16.39% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 27.87% of all publications and 37.70% 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.
