A Citation Analysis of the ACSC 2006-2008 Proceedings, with Reference to the CORE Conference and Journal Rankings
Lister, R. and Box, I.
This paper compares the CORE rankings of computing
conferences and journals to the frequency of citation of
those journals and conferences in the Australasian
Computer Science Conference (ACSC) 2006, 2007 and
2008 proceedings. The assumption underlying this study
is that there should be a positive relationship between
citation rates and the CORE rankings. Our analysis
shows that the CORE rankings broadly reflect the ACSC
citations, but with some anomalies. While these
anomalies might be minor in the larger scheme of things,
anomalies need to be addressed, as the careers of
individual academics may depend upon it. Rankings are
probably here to stay, and this paper ends with some
suggestions on how the rankings process should now
evolve, so that it becomes more transparent. |
