Relative status of journal and conference publications in computer science

Abstract: Publication informationCommunications of the ACM, 53 (11) Abstract While it is universally held by computer scientists that conference publications have a higher status in computer science than in other disciplines there is little quantitative evidence in support of this position. The importance of journal publications in academic promotion makes this a big issue since an exclusive focus on journal papers will miss many significant papers published at conferences in computer science. In this paper we set out t… Show more

“…We focused on journal articles (N = 784, 661) and paper conferences (N = 1, 085, 393), since these two kinds of materials have been shown to reflect research advances in CS (Chen & Konstan, 2010;Freyne, Coyle, Smyth, & Cunningham, 2010). Note that we discarded pre-prints from the ArXiv CoRR (Computing Research Repository), as these are not peerreviewed materials and they may also repeat documents published in journals or conferences.…”

“…Different indexes produce different rankings. Freyne et al (2010) One might expect the selection process to add value, but I remain unconvinced (Church 2014). Among other problems, the selection process suffers from an appearance of a conflict, where certain for-profit indexing services may be favoring for-profit publishers.…”

“…Another choice for researchers is conference papers. [85,86] Although conference is happens every year, but percentage number of paper being accepted in the conference is low. Even some of high quality papers are rejected from the conference, sometimes due to overwhelm number of papers or the track isn't suitable for the papers.…”
