ICORE provides rankings of selected international conferences in Computer Science and Computer Systems Engineering.
ICORE announcements are sent out on the rankings mail group (for internationals) and the CORE members mail group (for Australasian academics.) These can be joined from core.edu.au.
Rankings are determined using a combination of automated data metrics, conference submissions, and expert committee judgement.
The ICORE ranking has developed from the original CORE ranking which included software analysis tools, a web based submission system and standalone tools: WPP (Where People Publish) and Centile Tools (Graphs of citations and author h-index for individual conferences). These continue to be updated and managed by ICORE. ICORE evolved from the original CORE rankings, expanding coverage to include Computer Systems Engineering.
Detailed information regarding ranking definitions, submission guidelines, and historical data from previous ranking rounds.
The core searchable engine for conference rankings. It allows users to look up specific Computer Science conferences by name, acronym, or research area (FoR codes) to see their current and historical rank (e.g., A*, A, B, or C).
The Where People Publish tool allows you to search for specific researchers or groups to see their publication patterns. It shows which conferences a researcher frequently targets and the associated ICORE ranks of those venues.
The Centile Tools provide a more granular way to compare conferences using citation data and metrics to calculate a "centile" (percentile) rank within a specific field. This assesses the relative standing of conferences beyond the broad A/B/C categories.
