Top-rated software researchers at CSE

Published

​A recent bibliometric study has identified the top-20 early stage, consolidated, and experienced scholars in the field of software engineering. Among the top-rated are four researchers from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering; Robert Feldt, Jan Bosch, Richard Torkar and Thorsten Berger.

The paper A Bibliometric Assessment of Software Engineering Scholars and Institutions (2010-2017) presents the findings of a bibliometric study, targeting an eight-year period (2010-2017), with the aim of identifying:

  • emerging research directions,
  • the top-20 institutions, and
  • top-20 early stage, consolidated, and experienced scholars in the field of software engineering.

Four researchers at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering is rated in the paper:

  • Robert Feldt, Professor, Software Engineering division
    6th in Europe (8th in the World, 1st in Sweden) in Most Active Experienced SE Researchers in Top-Quality Journals 2010-2017
  • Jan Bosch Professor, Software Engineering division
    8th in Europe (11th in the World, 2nd in Sweden) in Most Active Experienced SE Researchers in Top-Quality Journals 2010-2017
  • Richard Torkar, Professor and Head of division, Software Engineering division
    5th in Europe (9th in the World, 3rd in Sweden) in Most Active Consolidated SE Researchers in Top-Quality Journals 2010-2017, and on the list of Most impactful consolidated SE researchers in general
  • Thorsten Berger, Senior lecturer, Software Engineering division
    On the list for Most impactful consolidated SE researchers in general

The Consolidated Researcher category ranks people who are a bit more junior than the Experienced Researcher.
