CS Research
- What is reproducible research?
- ACM : The Association for Computing Machinery
- The "CS club" for professionals.
- Supports the CS community.
- Publications
- Communications of the ACM
- Other journals.
- On line digital library (You mostly have access here)
- SIG: Special Interest Group
- SIGGRAPH - Special Interest Group for GRAPHics
- Most have journals
- Most have conferences
- Most have workshops.
- Courses.
- IEEE: Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers
- Societis, not SIGs
- Mostly the computer society.
- But there are others as well.
- You have access to many IEEE journals as well.
- Where do we publish?
- Conferences and conference proceedings.
- Journals have a multi-year turn around.
- We are in a fast paced discipline and don't have time for this.
- Viewpoint: Time For Computer Science to Grow Up
- Because we are a "new" discipline, we publish in conferences.
- Major conferences are highly selective.
- Review boards are dominated by research faculty from big universities, which skews the selection process.
- Many important journal articles were rejected by cs conferences.
- Use google scholar to follow the trail.
- Conferences versus journals in computer science
- Notice the form of the paper.

- Look at the publication rates in table 1.
- Based on a 2010 study that classified conferences and journals based on citations.
- CS Journals composed 4% of all journals in the study
- CS Conferences composed 76% of all of the conferences studied.
- With twice as many conferences listed than journals.
- Is there a difference in the citation rate for papers published in conference proceedings or in journals?
- Table 4 and 5 aer interesting.
- They appear to be the same en masse.
- Elite conference edge out elite journals.
