Ranking & Metrics
Impact Score is a novel metric devised to rank conferences based on the number of contributing the best scientists in addition to the h-index estimated from the scientific papers published by the best scientists. See more details on our methodology page.

Conference Call for Papers
The XXXIV General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (GASS) of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI,
www.ursi.org) will take place in Rome, Italy, from August 28 to September 4, 2021. The scientific programme will be organized
around the ten URSI Commissions (see below) and will comprise oral sessions, poster sessions, tutorials, plenary and public
lectures, with both invited and contributed papers. In addition, there will be workshops, short courses, special programmes
for young scientists, a student paper competition, programmes for accompanying persons, and an industrial
exhibition. More than 1,500 scientists from more than 50 countries are expected to participate.
Scientists and researchers are invited to submit papers, to be included in the scientific program. Detailed information will be
posted on the GASS 2021 web site. Any topic concerning the scientific domains of URSI Commissions is potentially
acceptable. In addition, papers addressing multidisciplinary aspects will be assigned to inter-Commission sessions.
COVID 19: Given the uncertainty on the vaccine and on the status of the pandemic worldwide in August 2021, the committee
is implementing two options for the GASS: a fully physical event, and a hybrid meeting allowing both on-site and remote
participation, becoming wholly virtual in case of necessity. Consequently, radioscientists can confidently submit
contributions before the deadline. Updated information will be posted on the GASS web site in due course.
Overview
Top Research Topics at URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium?
Optics (20.79%)
Telecommunications (16.72%)
Remote sensing (12.70%)
The objective of the conference is to combine knowledge in the areas of Optics, Telecommunications, Remote sensing, Ionosphere and Electronic engineering.
While the event focused on Optics, it was also able to explore topics like Optoelectronics, Dielectric, Mathematical analysis and Antenna (radio).
The research on Antenna (radio) discussed in it draws on the closely related field of Acoustics.
The studies on Telecommunications discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Bandwidth (signal processing) and Electrical engineering.
The research on Remote sensing tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Radar and Satellite.
Topics in Ionosphere explored in URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium were investigated in conjunction with research in Computational physics, Meteorology and Atmospheric sciences.
Most of the Antenna measurement studies addressed also intersect with Coaxial antenna.
What are the most cited papers published at the conference?
Equatorial and low latitude ionospheric effects during sudden stratospheric warming events (149 citations)
Glucose-dependent dielectric properties of blood plasma (70 citations)
Autonomous drones for assisting rescue services within the context of natural disasters (53 citations)
Research areas of the most cited articles at URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium:
The most cited papers mainly tackle studies in Telecommunications, Optics, Remote sensing, Satellite and Electromagnetic interference.
The published papers address concerns in Telecommunications which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Electronic engineering and Electrical engineering.
The conference papers focus on Optics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Low frequency, Phase (waves) and Waveguide filter.
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.

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.
Research.com
During the most recent 2021 edition, 18.62% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 12.08% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 9.25% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.99% of all publications and 60.67% 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).
