The 41st International Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS)

This ranking presents a comprehensive list of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, meticulously compiled and curated by Research.com. As one of the leading websites for science research since 2014, Research.com has established a strong reputation for providing trusted data and insightful analysis across all major scientific domains, including Computer Science.

The position of each conference in this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score is calculated using a combination of the estimated h-index and the number of top-tier scientists who have contributed to each conference over the preceding three years. Such a method ensures a balanced evaluation, reflecting both the scientific impact and the presence of renowned experts at each event.

The Impact Score values featured in this ranking were meticulously gathered as of 2024-11-27, reinforcing the timeliness and relevance of the analysis. The ranking process entailed the examination of more than 2,742 conferences, which were selectively included following an exhaustive review and rigorous assessment of over 148,739 scientific documents published within the last three years. This volume of data was contributed by 13,184 leading and highly respected scientists in the Computer Science community, further underlining the depth and rigour of the evaluation process.

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, 7.27% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 29.41% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 15.69% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.73% of all publications and 41.18% 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.
