Impact Factors for Computer Science Conferences (2310.08037v1)

Abstract: An increasing number of CS researchers are employed in academic non-CS departments where publication output is measured in terms of journal impact factors. To foster recognition of publications in peer-reviewed CS conference proceedings, we analyzed more than 40,000 CS publications and computed journal impact factors for 88 top-ranking conferences across a representative range of fields, finding that some conferences have impact factors corresponding to those of high-ranking journals.
