Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare the iConference with the ASIS&T AM in the past ten years in terms of the attendance, the number of publications, and the number of citations received. Based on the analysis of nine indicators, this study reveals that the iConference is the same prestige conference in information science as the ASIS&T Annual Meeting because the majority of the attendance, the publications as well as the citations are contributed by the same group of scholars from the same group of institutions.
