17th International Congress on Artificial Materials for Novel Wave Phenomena

Top Research Topics at International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics?

• Optics (55.87%)
• Metamaterial (43.61%)
• Optoelectronics (34.06%)

The aim of the conference is to expand the discussion of research in Optics, Metamaterial, Optoelectronics, Plasmon and Condensed matter physics. The concepts on Optics presented in the conference can also apply to other research fields, including Antenna (radio), Metamaterial antenna and Dielectric. Many of the studies tackled connect Metamaterial antenna with a similar field of study like Metamaterial absorber.

The event explores Metamaterial concepts, specifically Photonic metamaterial, Transformation optics and Split-ring resonator but expands to research in Electromagnetics. The Optoelectronics works featured in it incorporate elements from Polarization (waves) and Microwave. The presentations discussing Plasmon offer insights in topics such as Surface plasmon and Localized surface plasmon.

The event features studies on Surface plasmon, including topics such as Surface plasmon polariton. In particular, the Scattering works presented emphasize discussions on Light scattering.

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The conference was organized to reinforce research efforts on Optics, Metamaterial, Optoelectronics, Plasmon and Dielectric. Research on Optics addressed in the conference frequently intersections with the field of Permittivity. Issues in Metamaterial were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Acoustics, Electromagnetic radiation, Nanotechnology, Mathematical analysis and Condensed matter physics.

The featured Optoelectronics works encompass concepts such as Silicon and examines them in conjunction with Realization (systems). The work on Plasmon tackled in it brings together disciplines like Resonance and Atomic physics. It addresses concerns in Dielectric which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Nanophotonics and Nanostructure.

The most cited articles from the last conference are:

• Advancements in Doppler cloak technology: Manipulation of Doppler Effect and invisibility for moving objects (8 citations)
• Towards broadband tunable non-Foster radiating systems (7 citations)
• Metamaterial surface antenna technology: Commercialization through diffractive metamaterials and liquid crystal display manufacturing (7 citations)

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, 5.37% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 39.01% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 14.89% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.15% of all publications and 26.95% 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.
