Abstract
This paper summarizes a ranking of Canadian researchers and institutions in the field of software engineering from 1996 to 2006, based on two metrics: impact factors, and h-index. The ranking is going to be an ongoing, annual event to identify the top 50 scholars and top 50 institutions over a 10-year period in Canada. The rankings are calculated based on the impact factor and h-index of papers published in top 12 selected software engineering journals and conferences. The top-ranked institution is Carleton University, and the top-ranked scholars (by each of the two metrics) are Lionel Briand (formerly with Carleton University) and Gail Murphy from UBC.
Highlights
Who are the most published scholars in the field of software engineering? Which are the most published institutions?The series of 12 papers by Glass and Chen (Glass 1995; Glass and Chen 2001; Glass and Chen 2002; Tse, Chen et al 2006) answer the above questions in the worldwide context on an annual basis from 1994 until 2006
This study is the first one of its kind in the domains of Scientometrics and Bibliometrics to answer the above questions in the Canadian context, i.e., who are the most published Canadian scholars in the field of software engineering? Which are the most published Canadian institutions? Note that only a handful number of Canadian researchers and institutions appear in the world’s top 50 list
This paper summarized a survey of publications by the Canadian researchers in the field of software engineering from 1996 to 2006
Summary
Who are the most published scholars in the field of software engineering? Which are the most published institutions?. Assessing academic and industrial research institutions of a nation, together with their scholars, can help identify the best organizations and researchers of a country in a given discipline. Such an assessment can reveal outstanding institutions and scholars, allowing graduate students and researchers to better choose where they want to study or work. This study is the first one of its kind in the domains of Scientometrics and Bibliometrics to answer the above questions in the Canadian context, i.e., who are the most published Canadian scholars in the field of software engineering?
