Call for Papers

OCEANS, organised by the Marine Technology Society and the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society, is a leading conference on ocean science and engineering. It invites papers on ocean observing systems, underwater acoustics and communication, autonomous and remotely operated vehicles, ocean sensors and instrumentation, marine renewable energy, offshore and subsea engineering, ocean data and AI, coastal and polar oceanography, and marine policy. Accepted papers are published in IEEE Xplore.

Overview

This ranking presents a comprehensive list of scientific conferences in the field of Environmental Sciences, meticulously curated to assist researchers, institutions, and professionals in identifying the most influential forums in the discipline. Prepared by Research.com, a leading platform recognized for delivering trusted data on scientific contributions across all major research fields since 2014, this ranking exemplifies the depth and integrity of data-driven evaluation in Environmental Sciences.

The position of each conference in this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed exclusively by Research.com. This score is calculated through an advanced methodology that leverages the estimated h-index as well as the number of leading scientists who have participated in the conference over the previous three years. Such a multifaceted approach ensures a robust and dynamic measure of scientific impact and prestige.

The ranking incorporates Impact Score values that were most recently gathered on 2024-11-27, providing an up-to-date assessment of conference standing and influence. In constructing this selection, more than 844 conferences were carefully reviewed and evaluated, following a rigorous process of inspection that involved the analysis of over 8,433 scientific documents published within the last three years by 9,229 preeminent scientists specializing in Environmental Sciences.

This thorough and transparent methodology reflects the commitment of Research.com to accuracy, reliability, and academic excellence. Readers seeking an in-depth understanding of the ranking process and the computation of 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.

The top authors publishing at OCEANS Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Andrea Caiti (20 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 6 less than at the previous edition,
  • Scott Glenn (20 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Eric W. Gill (18 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Josh Kohut (17 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Rui Nian (17 papers) absent 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 OCEANS Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Memorial University of Newfoundland (56 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Zhejiang University (55 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Harbin Engineering University (54 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Northwestern Polytechnical University (47 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ocean University of China (44 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 7 less 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 2017 edition, 9.30% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 5.13% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 10.26% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 28.21% of all publications and 56.41% 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
