Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI)

This comprehensive ranking presents a curated list of scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science. Developed by Research.com, a leading authority in science research across major disciplines, this ranking leverages trusted data on scientific contributions maintained since 2014. Through a meticulous and methodologically-driven process, the conferences featured here have been ranked using a unique bibliometric score specifically created by Research.com.

The bibliometric score, central to the ranking process, is calculated based on the estimated h-index as well as the number of leading scientists who have contributed to each conference during the last three years. This rigorous methodology ensures that both the impact and the reputational quality of conferences, as indicated by active participation of top-tier researchers, are precisely represented. The ranking contains up-to-date Impact Score values gathered on 2024-11-27.

In order to ensure the highest degree of accuracy and relevance, the evaluation process included a detailed inspection of over 2,742 conferences. This examination was based on an in-depth analysis of more than 148,739 scientific documents published during the preceding three years, authored by 13,184 distinguished and influential scientists in the discipline of Computer Science. The conference selection and scoring process reflects a commitment to excellence, drawing upon a vast breadth of research output and expert contributions.

Further details regarding the methodology for computing the ranking scores, including technical definitions and analytical procedures, are available on our Methodology Page. This resource offers transparent insight into the comprehensive and expert-driven approach underlying the creation of this authoritative conference ranking.

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.

Top authors and change over time

The top authors publishing at Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (based on the number of publications) are:

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.

Top affiliations and change over time

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (based on the number of publications) are:

• University of California, Davis (11 papers) absent at the last edition,
• University of California, San Diego (9 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
• Bielefeld University (7 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
• University of Waterloo (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
• École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (6 papers) absent 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 2014 edition, 7.41% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 20.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 24.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 36.00% of all publications and 20.00% 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.
