Abstracts and papers are published by the Electromagnetics Academy.

Overview

This ranking provides a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences within the discipline of Engineering and Technology. Developed by Research.com—one of the foremost platforms for science research across all principal academic areas and a trusted provider of scientific data since 2014—the list highlights conferences distinguished by their scholarly influence and contributions to the advancement of engineering and technological sciences.

The positions in the ranking are determined using a unique bibliometric score, meticulously crafted by Research.com. This score incorporates both the estimated h-index and the count of leading scientists who have participated in each conference over the previous three years, ensuring a nuanced and accurate representation of each event’s academic impact.

To achieve this, an extensive assessment process was implemented, involving the review and analysis of over 2,262 conferences. These were selected following a thorough vetting of more than 26,934 scientific documents published over the last three years by 9,385 prominent and highly respected experts in Engineering and Technology. The final ranking contains Impact Score values that were rigorously gathered and verified as of 2024-11-27.

This ranking stands as a testament to the depth of research and the stringent analytical standards maintained by a team of experts, offering the community a credible and data-driven resource for identifying the leading conferences in the field.

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 Progress in Electromagnetic Research Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Mei Song Tong (24 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Zengping Chen (22 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Qing Huo Liu (16 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Shaobo Qu (13 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Vjaceslavs Bobrovs (12 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 Progress in Electromagnetic Research Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

  • National University of Defense Technology (99 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Chinese Academy of Sciences (68 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (49 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Zhejiang University (40 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Tongji University (33 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, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 0.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 100.00% 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.
