Additional tools: computer science
Why highlight additional tools for Computer Science?
- 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
