Normalized Top-100 Software Engineering Conference Papers
This webpage is an attempt to assemble a ranking of top-cited conference papers from the area of software engineering. The ranking has been created based on citations of papers published at top software engineering venues. More details are available here.
Absolute citations are not necessarily a good indicator for the impact of a paper, as the number of citations usually grows with the age of a paper. The following list shows an alternative ranking, where the citations are normalized by the age of each paper. Papers from 2026 are not included, as their citation counts have not stabilized yet.
