“…Vrettas & Sanderson, 2015 show that a small number of elite conferences have higher average citations rate than elite journals. While there is a range of metrics for evaluating journals, e.g, Impact Factor, SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), there is no common metric for evaluating conferences (Almendra, Enăchescu, & Enăchescu, 2015).…”

Conferences are an essential tool for scientific communication. In disciplines such as Computer Science, over 50% of original research results are published in conference proceedings. In this study, we have analyzed the role of conference proceedings in various disciplines and propose an alternative approach to research evaluation based on conference proceedings and Scimago Journal Rank (SJR). The result of the study is a list of conference proceedings, categorized Q1 -Q4 in several disciplines by analogy with SJR journal quartiles. The comparison of this bibliometric-driven ranking with the expert-driven CORE ranking in Computer Science showed a 62% overlap, as well as a significant average rank correlation of the category distribution. Moreover, 38 conference proceedings in Engineering (45% of the list) and 23 in Computer Science (32% of the list) have an SJR level corresponding to the first quartile journals in these areas. This again emphasizes the exceptional importance of conferences in these disciplines.

An analysis of an academic network reveals interesting insights into the prevailing research domains. The scientometrics analysis of an academic network mainly focuses to find the top authors and top journals using Bibliometircs. There are few work identify the top conferences to help the scholars to know about the current trends in computer science and helps them to participate in the conferences to extend their interactions with other researchers. In this paper, we aim to find the top conferences in the computer science research domain. We present a novel algorithm, ConferencRank by adapting the state of the art Pagerank algorithm to rank the conferences. We use the various features as weights to rank the conferences as well. The proposed algorithm has been applied on a very large data set of the DBLP and the results confirm that the proposed algorithm is helpful to find the top conferences and ranks the conferences in a proper manner. As a future work, we will like to extend this work by finding topicsensitive ranking of the conferences.
