Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing (PACRIM)

This ranking provides a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, designed to support researchers, academics, and practitioners in identifying the most impactful venues for their work. The ranking is developed by Research.com, one of the leading platforms for science research across all major disciplines. Since 2014, Research.com has established a reputation for delivering authoritative, data-driven insights and trusted analytics regarding scientific contributions worldwide.

The position of each conference within this ranking is determined by a distinctive bibliometric score, calculated through a refined methodology proprietary to Research.com. This score is based on two primary factors: the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in the conferences over the preceding three years. By integrating both measures, the ranking holistically reflects not only the academic impact and influence of the conferences but also the active engagement of foremost experts in the Computer Science community.

Impact Score values for this ranking were gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that the assessment reflects the most current and relevant data available. The ranking process involved an initial examination of more than 2,742 conferences, selected through a meticulous and exhaustive review of over 148,739 scientific documents published over the last three years. This effort engaged contributions from 13,184 leading and well-respected scientists, guaranteeing both breadth and depth in analytical scope.

The resulting list provides a valuable resource for those seeking to understand or benchmark scientific conference quality and influence within Computer Science.

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 top authors publishing at Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing (based on the number of publications) are:

• Andreas Antoniou (53 papers) absent at the last edition,
• T. Aaron Gulliver (49 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Wu-Sheng Lu (44 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Peter F. Driessen (38 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 3 less 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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Pacific Rim Conference on Communications, Computers and Signal Processing (based on the number of publications) are:

• University of Victoria (193 papers) published 17 papers at the last edition, 6 less than at the previous edition,
• University of British Columbia (127 papers) absent at the last edition,
• Keio University (65 papers) absent at the last edition,
• University of Tsukuba (56 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 2019 edition, 5.06% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 20.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.00% of all publications and 32.00% 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.
