Symposium on Microelectronics Technology and Devices (SBMicro)

The Materials Science Conference Ranking presented on this page offers a comprehensive and authoritative assessment of scientific conferences in the field of Materials Science. This ranking has been meticulously prepared by Research.com, a recognized leader in providing reliable data on scientific research across all major disciplines, including Materials Science, and has been a trusted source of scientific contribution analytics since 2014.

The relative positions of conferences in this ranking are determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score takes into account both the estimated h-index and the number of distinguished researchers who have participated in each conference during the preceding three years. Such a dual-criterion approach ensures a robust and nuanced evaluation, accurately reflecting both the academic influence and the prominence of participating scientists.

Impact Score values for this ranking have been gathered as of 2024-11-27, representing the most current and relevant assessment of conference impact in the field. The ranking process itself was extensive and rigorous, involving the examination of more than 1,443 conferences. These conferences were carefully selected following a thorough evaluation of over 14,323 scientific documents published within the last three years by 12,755 leading and well-respected scientists specializing in Materials Science.

This methodical and multi-layered evaluation underscores the credibility and reliability of the ranking. Additional details regarding the methodology employed in computing the ranking scores can be found 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 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, 77.27% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 12.12% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 3.03% of all publications and 7.58% 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.
