Power Electronics & Drives: Systems and Technologies Conference (PEDSTC)

This authoritative ranking presents the most significant scientific conferences in the field of Engineering and Technology. Developed by Research.com—one of the leading and most trusted platforms for science research since 2014—this list serves as a valuable resource for scholars, institutions, and professionals seeking informed guidance on the scholarly influence of conferences worldwide.

The ranking’s foundation is a unique bibliometric score meticulously calculated by Research.com. This score takes into account both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have participated in the conference over the previous three years, reflecting each conference’s impact, reputational standing, and contribution to the advancement of Engineering and Technology research. All Impact Score values were collected on 2024-11-27 to ensure the most recent and relevant data underpin the results.

The rigorous process involved the evaluation of more than 2,262 conferences, each selected following comprehensive scrutiny and systematic analysis. The assessment covered over 26,934 scientific documents published during the last three years, produced by a cohort of 9,385 leading and respected scientists within the domain of Engineering and Technology. This depth of data and the complexity of the analysis underscore the ranking’s credibility and the expertise behind its creation.

For a detailed understanding of the methods used in deriving the bibliometric scores and the overall ranking process, readers 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 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 2021 edition, 3.94% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 61.48% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 21.31% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 14.75% of all publications and 2.46% 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.
