Overview

The conference ranking presented on this page provides an authoritative list of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science. Developed by Research.com, recognized as one of the leading platforms for scientific research across all major academic disciplines, this ranking leverages years of experience in delivering reliable and comprehensive data on scientific contributions since its inception in 2014.

Conference positions in this ranking are determined through a unique bibliometric score devised by Research.com. This score is calculated using an estimated h-index and the count of leading scientists who have contributed to or appeared at each conference during the past three years, ensuring that only events with sustained and significant academic impact are recognized.

Impact Scores included in this ranking were gathered as of 2024-11-27, offering an up-to-date evaluation of conference influence. The ranking process involved a detailed and meticulous inspection of over 2,742 conferences, selected after a rigorous examination of more than 148,739 scientific documents published over the previous three years. These documents represent the contributions of 13,184 leading and globally respected scientists within the Computer Science community.

The result is a deeply-researched and meticulously analyzed ranking, designed to support researchers, institutions, and academic stakeholders in identifying the most impactful conferences in the discipline. More comprehensive details regarding the methodology for computing ranking scores are available on 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 Linguistic Annotation Workshop (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Dipti Misra Sharma (7 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Martha Palmer (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Nianwen Xue (5 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Nancy Ide (5 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Manfred Stede (4 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 Linguistic Annotation Workshop (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Brandeis University (9 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Charles University in Prague (9 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Potsdam (7 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Columbia University (6 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Centre national de la recherche scientifique (6 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as 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 2014 edition, 9.09% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 45.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 5.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 30.00% of all publications and 20.00% 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.
