Ad-hoc networks are to networks that are spontaneously and temporarily established without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. These networks are often characterized by self-organization and may be spontaneously established to simplify communication across devices. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of diminutive, energy-efficient devices known as sensors, which are strategically placed in different settings to gather and send data without the need for physical connections. WSNs are often used for the purpose of monitoring and collecting data from the surrounding environment. This study focuses on the assessment of performance in network research, especially in the domains of Ad-Hoc and WSN. The analysis focuses on papers from renowned conferences in various domains and scrutinizes the validation methodologies used by authors. Simulations are the predominant approach used for performance assessment, with MATLAB being the favored simulator. Experimental verification is also carried out, but the articles lack comprehensive information, which poses a challenge for replicating the experiments. In general, a minuscule proportion of publications provide replicable results.
