AuthoRanker displays the number of papers in a conference by an author,
sorted by the paper count. It helps you find the top researchers in certain
areas and conferences.
It is inspired by
TopResearcher. It uses DBLP to get the data.
It only counts the papers which have at least 6 pages.
Currently, it just enlists the Systems conferences.
AuthoRanker, in no way, tries to promote the number of papers as a
metric to judge the merit of a researcher. AuthoRanker quantifies the
paper count of the researchers and possibly find and explore trends.
For example, interesting point to look at is
the size and reach of certain areas in terms of the number of total
authors. Also see the
number of authors on average that was
needed to write a paper in different sub-areas. I will soon
include an author name search feature.
AuthoRanker is still not ready to be called a "polished release",
maybe a pre-alpha
release. I will release the source code very soon, which might ultimately
turn into a nice Python DBLP API.
In the meantime, I would
love feedback at soham1 < AT > bu < DOT > edu .
