Navigating the academic Swedish software engineering landscape can be difficult. As a Swedsoft activity, I created Swe-SE-SCI to list all Swedish Software Engineering (SE) scholars with permanent positions (>=50%) at Swedish non-profit research organizations. The ambition is to maintain an index of all Swedish SE scholars with first-authored publications in SCI-listed SE journals, i.e., “SSS scholars”. Swe-SE-SCI mines DBLP publication lists to identify typical research topics of Swedish SE research organizations and apparent research interests of SSS scholars.

A reliable and updated index of academic SE in Sweden could bring several benefits. The primary goal is to constitute a gateway for industry to find expertise among researchers – hopefully supporting knowledge transfer, industry-academia collaboration, and more relevant research. Swe-SE-SCI can also be used to find academic partners in new research projects and suitable PhD committee members. The index can also help news media find expert commentary is needed on specific topics.

SE is a diverse field. Swe-SE-SCI organizes the expertise available in Sweden in a format inspired by the “yellow pages” in telephone directories. We tabulate SSS scholars per Knowledge Area (KA) defined by SWEBOK V3.0. By defining a one-to-one mapping between publication venues and KAs, we assign SSS scholars with 1st-authored publications to the corresponding KAs. Venues have primarily been identified using the “software engineering” filter that used to be available on Research.com.

Index Overview

• Affiliations. The list summarizes 1st-authored SCI publications by SSS scholars currently affiliated with the organization. Topic modeling is used to extract apparent research directions.
• SSS scholars that have 1st-authored publications mapped to one of the following SWEBOK KAs. All tables list the titles of the corresponding publications.
  • Software Requirements – elicitation, analysis, specification, and validation of software requirements as well as the management of requirements during the whole life cycle of the software product.
  • Software Design – the process of defining the architecture, components, interfaces, and other characteristics of a system and the result of that process.
  • Software Construction – detailed creation of working software through a combination of coding, verification, unit testing, integration testing, and debugging.
  • Software Testing – dynamic verification that a program provides expected behaviors on a finite set of test cases, suitably selected from the usually infinite execution domain.
  • Software Maintenance – problem and modification analysis, modification implementation, maintenance review/acceptance, migration, and retirement.
  • Software Configuration Management – identification of the functional and physical characteristics of a configuration item and controlling changes to those characteristics.
  • Software Engineering Management – planning, coordinating, measuring, monitoring, controlling, and reporting to ensure that software products are delivered efficiently and effectively.
  • Software Engineering Process – work activities accomplished by software engineers to develop, maintain, and operate software.
  • Software Engineering Models and Methods – using models as an approach to problem solving, e.g., notation and procedures for model construction and analysis.
  • Software Quality – the capability of a software product to satisfy stated and implied needs under specified conditions. This KA encompasses specific qualities such as software safety.
  • Software Engineering Professional Practice – the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to produce software in a responsible and ethical manner. Includes human factors and societal impact.
  • Software Engineering Economics – making decisions related to software engineering in a business context.
• Individual SSS Scholars. Lists all SSS scholars and their apparent research interests based on a word frequency analysis of the titles of the publications (not only SCI-listed work).
• Signature SSS Works. Presents the titles of all 1st-authored SCI-listed publications by the SSS scholars.
• Bibliometrics. Presents statistics used to order SSS scholars. The two ratios show the fraction of papers that have been published in SCI-listed SE journals and 1st-authored papers, respectively.

Ordering in a Nutshell

Affiliations are ordered by the number of first-authored SCI publications by SSS scholars. Individual SSS scholars are ordered by their SSS rating – our in-house metric. In contrast to non-decreasing citation-based metrics, the SSS rating fluctuates as it promotes active research focusing on publishing in SCI-listed SE journals. A detailed description is available at the bottom of this page.

Detailed information

The source code used to calculate the data and generate the tables is available as open source on GitHub. The main ideas are the following:

• Publication data are extracted from the manually curated DBLP. Publications that are not indexed by DBLP are not considered. Also, arXiv publications and Software Engineering Notes are removed.
• Prof. Robert Feldt’s list of SCI-listed SE journals is used to determine the SCI status. This means that the magazines IEEE SW, IEEE Computer, and CACM are excluded. Since February 2023, Science of Computer Programming is included.
• SCI ratio is the fraction of a scholar’s papers that are publications in SCI-listed journals. We do not filter out introduction sections to special issues etc.
• 1st ratio is the fraction of a scholar’s first-authorships.
• SSS rating is calculated as the total number of publications multiplied by the weighted harmonic mean between the SCI-ratio and the 1st ratio, where the SCI-ratio is weighted twice as important as the 1st ratio. The SSS ratio can both increase and decrease, thus it is a more interesting metric to follow over time – SCI ratio emphasizes a quality focus (as opposed to paper inflation) and 1st ratio values active research (rather than management and supervision). I like the SSS rating as it indicates how prolific scholars are, but it also deteriorates by unrestrained co-authorships.
• SSS contrib. is (just like the H-index) a non-decreasing number calculated as 1*SCI-listed first-authorships + 0.1*SCI-listed co-authorships + 0.01*other publications. This metric is useful if you don’t like the ideas of the fluctuating SSS rating.
• The apparent research interests of individual SSS scholars is calculated by listing the most used terms in the titles of all first-authored publications. A manually curated stop-word list is used in the preprocessing.
• The research topics of affiliations are calculated using topic modeling (LDA) with the paper titles of first-authored publications of SSS scholars as input. The number of topics and terms per topic are based on the total number of words in the input

FAQ

Q: Isn’t there enough focus on rankings and lists already?

A. Yes, but let’s do this anyway. The main purpose of the Swe-SE-SCI index is to help navigate the expertise among academic SE scholars in Sweden. The index must be ordered in some way, and it turns into gamification no matter what metric you choose. My original idea was actually to embrace gamification even more by providing achievements in the form of badges.

Q: But there are other prestigious publications venues as well! Feldt’s list doesn’t cover everything. Why don’t you include the SCI-listed journal X?

A. There are indeed other great journals that publish amazing research. However, Feldt’s list is carefully curated for software engineering, I couldn’t do a better job myself.

Q: Shouldn’t you properly acknowledge ICSE publications? Now it’s valued just like a minor research workshop.

A: No. While ICSE is a highly competitive and prestigious venue, it is already recognized enough. I like journal publications and I prefer incentives to redirect paper submissions away from conferences.

Q: Why don’t you include PhD students and postdocs? They also publish great journal papers.

A: True, but I need to select a sustainable scope. As soon as the PhD student gets a permanent position in Sweden I will be happy to add her/him. Also, the main purpose of SWE-SE-SCI is to index expertise in Sweden – scholars with permanent positions are likely to be appropriate contact persons for industry. The SSS scholars can of course, in turn, recommend other internal experts.

Q: Being a co-author to help others is a supportive thing to do. Doesn’t the 1st ratio discourage collaboration? Supervisors get penalized by the SSS ratio.

A: Writing papers together is a great thing to do and what really makes SE research fun. However, the average number of authors on papers is growing – a metric that encourages scholars to think twice before putting her/his name on a paper is a good counter-balance. Supervision is certainly another great thing in research, but it’s not the job for Swe-SE-SCI to highlight.

Q: Software engineering is a multidisciplinary topic, thus considering only a few SCI-listed journals is a problem. Can’t you see that great scholars with plenty of other SCI-listed publications are undervalued?

A: Yes, but Swe-SE-SCI doesn’t try to rank scholars based on their research greatness. Swe-SE-SCI is mainly focusing on contributions in core SE journals. This index is for SE in Sweden, others are welcome to maintain lists for related areas such as computer science, information systems, enterprise architecture, artificial intelligence… the code is available on GitHub. And yes, some senior SSS scholars focusing on other topics might appear surprisingly low on the lists. They might be great researchers, but they apparently don’t focus on SE.

Q: Why don’t you include any open access journals? You support the old broken academic publication system.

A: I include the SCI-listed journals selected by Prof. Feldt. There are open access journals on the SCI “emerging list” such as e-Informatica Software Engineering Journal. I look forward to including such open access journals when they are upgraded to the “extended list”.
