Research areas of the most cited articles at URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory:

Reconfigurable antenna, Acoustics, Antenna (radio), Function (mathematics) and Condensed matter physics are the main subjects of interest in the conference papers. The featured Function (mathematics) studies in the published articles mainly concentrate on Bending but also cover areas of interest in Optics. The studies tackled in the conference articles, which mainly focus on Optics, apply to Reflective array antenna as well.

What topics the last edition of the conference is best known for?

• Quantum mechanics
• Optics
• Mathematical analysis

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The conference was organized to reinforce research efforts on Mathematical analysis, Antenna (radio), Optics, Acoustics and Field (physics). The conference explores topics in Mathematical analysis which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Lossy compression, Scattering, Surface wave, Diffraction and Function (mathematics). The research on Antenna (radio) tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Dual (category theory) and Near and far field.

The study of Dielectric and how it intertwines with concepts under Polarization (waves) were explored in the presented Optics research. URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory explores research in Acoustics alongside concepts in Transmission (telecommunications) and other areas of study in Modal and Waveguide. While work presented in URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory provided substantial information on Field (physics), it also covered topics in Electron density and Electric field.

The most cited articles from the last conference are:

• Design of Hybrid Wireless Power Transfer and Dual Ultrahigh-Frequency Antenna System (5 citations)
• Analysis of Misalignment Effects on Link Budget of an Implantable Antenna (5 citations)
• Analytic Description of the Coherence Properties of High Frequency Field in the Inhomogeneous Stochastic Transionospheric Channel with Anisotropic Random Irregularities (3 citations)

Papers citation over time

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 2019 edition, 13.22% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.14% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 3.81% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 26.67% of all publications and 52.38% 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.
