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

The following ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences within the field of Environmental Sciences. This ranking has been meticulously curated by Research.com, recognized as one of the leading platforms for authoritative science research across all major disciplines, including Environmental Sciences, and serving as a trusted source for scientific contributions since 2014.

Each conference’s position in this ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score developed by Research.com. This score is calculated based on two key factors: the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have contributed to or participated in the conference over the last three years. The use of this composite metric ensures a rigorous and multifaceted assessment of the overall academic impact and prominence of each event.

The Impact Score values presented in this ranking were gathered as of 2024-11-27, ensuring that the results reflect the most current and relevant data available. The development of the ranking entailed a thorough examination of over 844 conferences, meticulously selected after careful scrutiny and analysis. This process included the review of over 8,433 scientific documents published in the previous three years, contributed by 9,229 leading and highly regarded scientists specializing in Environmental Sciences.

For readers seeking a deeper understanding of the methodology employed in computing the ranking scores, a comprehensive explanation is available on our Methodology Page.

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 URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Sandip K. Chakrabarti (23 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Yoshiharu Omura (19 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Sujay Pal (18 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Christophe Caloz (18 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition,
  • Craig J. Rodger (17 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 URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Chinese Academy of Sciences (95 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 2 less than at the previous edition,
  • Centre national de la recherche scientifique (52 papers) published 5 papers at the last edition, 2 more than at the previous edition,
  • Kyoto University (50 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Russian Academy of Sciences (49 papers) published 12 papers at the last edition, 6 more than at the previous edition,
  • ASTRON (45 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition the same number as 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 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).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For those interested in pursuing a career in Electronics and Electrical Engineering in the USA, exploring online electrical engineering career outcomes provides valuable insights into job prospects, earning potential, and industry demand. These outcomes help students understand the long-term benefits of choosing an accredited online program.

Many students also consider alternative yet complementary fields like paralegal studies. An paralegal studies associate degree offers solid career options and can be a practical choice for those seeking shorter programs or a shift toward legal and administrative roles.
