SCI-indexed conferences are leading scientific gatherings whose proceedings are included in Clarivate’s Web of Science Core Collection, ensuring rigorous peer review and global discoverability. Participating in these events boosts research impact, citation metrics, and career advancement while offering valuable networking opportunities with leading experts. This guide explains what SCI indexing entails, why it matters, how to choose the right conference, and how to submit your paper seamlessly through iConf.com.
The Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) is part of the Web of Science Core Collection, covering top-tier science journals and conference proceedings from 1900 to the present. To be included in the Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI), proceedings volumes must satisfy a set of editorial criteria—including valid ISSN/ISBN registration, rigorous peer review, English bibliographic information, and timely publication schedules. Selection is handled by independent in-house editors at Clarivate, ensuring impartiality and scholarly quality.
Inclusion in SCI ensures your paper appears in Web of Science searches, maximizing exposure to an international audience.
SCI-indexed proceedings are widely cited, helping to boost your citation counts and h-index.
Publications in SCI venues carry significant weight in academic evaluations, grant applications, and tenure reviews.
SCI conferences attract renowned researchers and industry leaders, facilitating collaborations that can lead to joint grants and high-impact projects.
Identify conferences aligned with your specialization—whether in biotechnology, materials science, computational physics, or another field—using the Web of Science Master Journal List or related query tools.
Confirm SCI/CPCI coverage via the official Master Journal List on Clarivate’s website or through recognized conference aggregators.
Use aggregator platforms or each conference’s official site to compare dates, venues, and submission deadlines at a glance.
Assess past editions’ keynote speakers, acceptance rates, and attendee feedback. Higher-standing events may be more competitive but also offer greater visibility and impact.
