Overview

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences within the field of Engineering and Technology. Developed by Research.com, a leading authority in scientific research metrics and data since 2014, this listing reflects our commitment to delivering trusted, data-driven insights across all major scientific domains, including Engineering and Technology.

The position of each conference in this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score meticulously crafted by Research.com. This score is calculated by integrating the estimated h-index and the presence of leading scientists who have contributed to each conference during the most recent three-year period. The Impact Score values displayed here were compiled as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that the information is both accurate and current.

Our rigorous ranking process involved an in-depth examination of over 2,262 conferences. These were selected following a detailed review and critical assessment of more than 26,934 scientific documents published within the last three years by 9,385 distinguished scientists renowned for their expertise in Engineering and Technology. This thorough approach highlights the depth of analysis and the extensive research undertaken by our team of experts to ensure the credibility and representativeness of the ranking.

For those interested in the technical details and methodology behind the computation of conference ranking scores, we invite you to review a comprehensive explanation 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 International Symposium on Power Electronics for Distributed Generation Systems (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Frede Blaabjerg (31 papers) published 10 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Liuchen Chang (27 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • Vassilios G. Agelidis (14 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Meiqin Mao (14 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Martin Ordonez (12 papers) published 10 papers at the last edition, 9 more than at the previous 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 International Symposium on Power Electronics for Distributed Generation Systems (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Aalborg University (60 papers) published 15 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Hefei University of Technology (46 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of New Brunswick (23 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • University of Arkansas (17 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Beijing Jiaotong University (14 papers) published 2 papers at the last 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 2016 edition, 3.74% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 35.92% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 11.65% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.62% of all publications and 39.81% 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.
