“…The literature also addresses the impact of conference publication quality on conference reputation, with (Laplante et al, 2009) and (Peller, 2013) discussing the effects of subpar papers and the integration of technology on the perceived quality of conferences. Martins et al (2010), Zhuang et al (2007), andStevic et al (2019) proposed methods for assessing conference quality, including bibliographic citations and analysis of program committee characteristics.…”

Objective. The study aims to understand the impact of descriptive metadata in academic events. It focuses on the need for analytical frameworks that take into account the characteristics of the events and the interests of the participants.Design/Methodology/Approach. The article focuses on academic event management and metadata quality based on user preferences and feedback. It conducted a survey among Ukrainian organizers and scholars between August and October 2022, analyzing the responses of 1,270 participants using descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis in RStudio.Results/Discussion. The survey showed that most (over 84%) of organizers and academics are dissatisfied with the quality of metadata, with a third rating it as very bad. Frequent errors in metadata emphasized the need for better management, including a preference for using identifiers like ORCID and DOI and a preference for open access to information about academic events.Conclusions. The results highlight the importance of developing specialized tools for metadata management and standardization of metadata elements in Ukraine to facilitate organization and participation in academic events at national and international levels.Originality/Value. The study makes an important contribution to the understanding of descriptive metadata management in academic events in Ukraine, suggesting ways to improve efficiency in this area.Keywords: academic events, conference management, descriptive metadata, Ukrainian legislation.

“…The acceptance ratio has been related to conference prestige, e.g., by Manolopoulos [46], and further debated by Laplante et al [47]. It is also generally believed that the acceptance rate of a conference is inversely proportional to its scientific impact [45].…”

“…Using these kinds of models, conference organisers can obtain additional insights in the impact of different policies recommended in the literature, such as increasing the acceptance rate, on future submissions (cf. [47]) and in evolution of the conference communities ("how will the GPCE author community look like in 2020?"). We believe that this kind of refined modelling is better than a single index of conference health combining multiple criteria or a "one size fits all" threshold.…”

How healthy are software engineering conferences?

In this article we study the health of software engineering conferences by means of a suite of metrics created for this purpose. The metrics measure stability of the community, openness to new authors, introversion, representativeness of the PC with respect to the authors' community, availability of PC candidates, and scientific prestige. Using this metrics suite, we assess the health of 11 software engineering conferences over a period of more than 10 years. In general, our findings suggest that software engineering conferences are healthy, but we observe important differences between conferences with a wide scope and those with a more narrow scope. We also find that depending on the chosen health metric, some conferences perform better than others. This knowledge may be used by prospective authors to decide in which conferences to publish, and by conference steering committees or PC chairs to assess their selection process.
