List of Conferences Journals

  • There is an interesting ranking provided by the Computing Research and Education Association of Australasia (CORE), an association of university departments of computer science in Australia and New Zealand - by far the only "official" ranking known from the Internet. It should be indicative when one decides to submit to some conferences/workshops or journals. See ranking for JOURNALS and CONFERENCES. Some new conferences (e.g., CoNext) are not yet but may be included in the future edition of CORE documents
  • Try to select venues ranked at A+ or A when considering submissions. The following are not exactly same as the CORE ranking, but largely similar.
