The 23rd Annual Meeting of the Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue (SIGDIAL)

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page showcases leading events in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities. This comprehensive ranking has been meticulously developed by Research.com, a reputable and authoritative platform that has been providing trusted data on scientific contributions across all major disciplines, including Social Sciences and Humanities, since 2014.

The positions within this ranking are determined using a unique bibliometric score curated by Research.com experts. This score is calculated by evaluating both the estimated h-index and the number of prominent researchers who have participated in each conference over the past three years, ensuring a balanced acknowledgment of both impact and academic engagement.

For the current edition, Impact Score values were compiled as of 2024-11-27. The rigorous process entailed a thorough examination of more than 450 conferences, each selected after an in-depth review and collective analysis of over 1,700 scientific documents published in the preceding three years. This endeavor involved contributions from 6,602 distinguished and highly regarded scientists specializing in Social Sciences and Humanities.

To maintain the utmost standard of accuracy and reliability, every aspect of the ranking’s creation was handled with expert scrutiny, in accordance with the best practices in research evaluation. For those interested in a detailed explanation of our scoring methodology and the steps involved in compiling this ranking, please refer to our Methodology Page.

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 2021 edition, 3.33% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 36.21% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 18.97% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.07% of all publications and 32.76% 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.
