Conference CiteScores

The rankings below are based on Scopus's CiteScore method. The ratings (top 10% and 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quartiles) are based on comparisons with the range of CiteScores of journals in the same subfields. The American University of Beirut (AUB) and the University Libraries of AUB do not necessarily endorse this ranking. It is up to you to decide whether to use or disregard it.

If you would like to add a conference to the list, please e-mail Lokman I. Meho , University Librarian and Associate Professor, American University of Beirut.
