Additional tools: computer science

Why highlight additional tools for Computer Science?computer science image

  • Computer Science (CS) is a fast-changing, multi-disciplinary research area
  • Every CS research area has its own journals and conferences
  • CS researchers tend to publish more conference papers than journal papers due to their quicker publication timeframe
  • CS journals tend to have lower impact factors than in other disciplines
  • Some top conference venues are considered to be as prestigious as high quality journals
  • Most conference publications in CS are rigorously peer reviewed and are published as full-length papers rather than as abstracts
  • In CS, unlike most other disciplines, many conference papers are considered archival publications
  • Impact factors are not yet available for conferences
  • Many bibliometric tools do not index conference publications
  • Multiple resources must be used to measure the quality of conferences
  • There is no one definitive bibliometric tool for CS
  • The tool you use will depend on your field of expertise
