Overview

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page provides a comprehensive evaluation of conferences within the field of Engineering and Technology. Developed by Research.com, a leading authority in the aggregation and analysis of scientific research data across all major disciplines since 2014, this ranking delivers a trusted resource for scholars and professionals seeking authoritative insights into academic conference impact.

The conferential position in this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score designed exclusively by Research.com. This score is meticulously computed by taking into account both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have contributed to each conference over the preceding three years. This dual-criteria approach ensures that the ranking not only reflects the scholarly influence of the events but also recognizes the active engagement of distinguished experts in the field.

The Impact Score values utilized in the construction of this ranking were systematically gathered on 2024-11-27. The evaluation process encompassed a rigorous review of more than 2,262 conferences that were selected following a detailed inspection and critical examination of over 26,934 scientific documents. These contributions represent the collective work of 9,385 leading and respected scientists in Engineering and Technology over the last three years, further demonstrating the depth and scope of the analysis undertaken.

For readers seeking a deeper understanding of the methodology underlying the computation of ranking scores, comprehensive details can be accessed 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 IEEE Annual Southern Power Electronics Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Marco Rivera (32 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • Patrick Wheeler (22 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition,
  • Jose Antenor Pomilio (15 papers) published 9 papers at the last edition, 8 more than at the previous edition,
  • Udaya K. Madawala (14 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 less than at the previous edition,
  • Christopher D. Townsend (11 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 IEEE Annual Southern Power Electronics Conference (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Nanyang Technological University (37 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 17 less than at the previous edition,
  • Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (34 papers) published 29 papers at the last edition, 26 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Talca (34 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Aalborg University (30 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 7 less than at the previous edition,
  • University of Auckland (28 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 2 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 2019 edition, 7.91% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 39.06% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 19.74% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 29.61% of all publications and 11.59% 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

For students interested in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, exploring related online degrees can open up diverse career pathways. Many learners prioritize affordability, making programs like budget friendly online general studies degree options appealing. These allow students to build a strong foundational knowledge while keeping education costs manageable.

Flexibility is another important factor. Some universities offer multiple start times to accommodate busy schedules. You can find institutions listed with online colleges starting this month, enabling you to begin your studies without waiting for traditional semester dates.

For those aiming to advance into leadership or academic roles within engineering fields, advanced education programs play a vital role. Resources on online eds to edd programs highlight opportunities to pursue doctoral degrees that can deepen expertise and enhance career prospects.

Additionally, many students seek quicker completion paths. Accelerated options like those featured in accelerated bachelor's degree programs allow motivated learners to enter the workforce faster or move on to graduate studies sooner.
