This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences within the field of Computer Science. Compiled by Research.com, one of the leading websites dedicated to science research across all major fields, this ranking leverages a strong track record of providing trusted and robust data on scientific contributions since 2014.
The placement of conferences in the ranking is based on a distinctive bibliometric score developed exclusively by Research.com. This score is meticulously calculated using a combination of the estimated h-index and the number of prominent scientists who have featured at the conference over the last three consecutive years. This dual metric aims to provide a balanced and insightful measure of both the academic impact and the community standing of each conference.
Impact Score values for this edition of the ranking were collected on 2024-11-27, ensuring that the assessment reflects the most current research landscape. The ranking methodology entailed a rigorous examination of more than 2,742 conferences. These conferences were shortlisted following a detailed inspection and comprehensive analysis of over 148,739 scientific documents, which were published in the last three years by 13,184 leading and highly respected scientists in the domain of Computer Science.
Through this meticulous and data-driven approach, this ranking aspires to serve the global scientific community by providing a reliable, transparent, and deeply informed perspective on the relative standing of Computer Science conferences.

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 USENIX Security Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:
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 USENIX Security Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:
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.
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, 2.90% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 26.92% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 18.80% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.50% of all publications and 30.77% were from other institutions.
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.
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.
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:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
For students interested in broadening their expertise beyond traditional computer science, exploring related fields through online education can be highly beneficial. Programs such as accelerated psychology programs online offer a fast track to understanding human behavior, which is valuable in areas like user experience and human-computer interaction.
Cost is an important consideration when selecting an online program. Fortunately, many affordable options are available. Prospective students can refer to resources like the psychology degree online cost guide to find budget-friendly programs that meet their educational and professional goals.
Those keen on creative technology fields might explore a game development degree. This pathway combines computer science fundamentals with design principles, preparing graduates for dynamic careers in the gaming industry.
Cybersecurity remains a critical area of growth with increasing demand for skilled professionals. Students interested in protecting digital assets can pursue a cyber security degree, which equips them with the technical expertise to combat evolving cyber threats.
