Overview

This ranking showcases the leading scientific conferences in the field of Computer Science, providing an authoritative resource for researchers, academics, and industry professionals seeking to identify the most influential venues within the discipline. The ranking has been meticulously developed by Research.com, one of the foremost platforms in science research, recognized for delivering trusted and comprehensive data on scientific achievements across all major fields—including Computer Science—since 2014.

Conference positioning within this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score devised by Research.com’s team of experts. This score integrates two primary factors: the estimated h-index of the conference and the number of distinguished scientists contributing to the event over the previous three years. Such a robust and nuanced approach reflects both the historical impact and the continued scientific relevance of each conference.

The Impact Score values presented herein were obtained as of 2024-11-27, ensuring the ranking reflects the most up-to-date recognition of scholarly excellence. The ranking process itself entailed a rigorous and in-depth evaluation, involving a comprehensive review of more than 2,742 conferences. These conferences were meticulously selected after thorough examination of over 148,739 scientific documents published within the last three years, authored by 13,184 of the most prominent and respected scientists working in Computer Science today.

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.

The top authors publishing at Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Nicholas Hopper (9 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Ian Goldberg (8 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Jean-Pierre Hubaux (6 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • George Danezis (5 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Lorrie Faith Cranor (5 papers) absent at the last edition.

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.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic Society (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Carnegie Mellon University (8 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • University of Minnesota (8 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • University of Waterloo (8 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (7 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition,
  • Technische Universität Darmstadt (7 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous 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 2018 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 36.84% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 26.32% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.79% of all publications and 21.05% 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.
