First Round of Journal Ranks Submitted to the ARC

CORE has submitted the following journal rankings as part of the ERA Exercise.

Alphabetic

Sorted by rank

Sorted by code by rank

They have also been sent to all Heads of Computing Departments so that they may form part of each University's submission.

Codes

The ANZSRC have fairly stringent guidelines on where journals should be placed.  This meant that a number of journals where computing academics publish fall outside the 08 codes.  These are predominantly:

Cognitive Science

Computational Linguistics

BioInformatics/Medical Informatics

Operations Research

(parts of) Robotics/Reconfigurable Systems/Embedded Systems

Some of these are clear cut but a number could be several codes.  Hence, these may change after the ARC has looked at all submissions.

We'll also publish a list of the many journals in these areas and which were in the original CORE list or for which update templates were submitted  and their requested ranks.

There are strict guidelines on the number of A*(5%) and A journals (15%).

CORE's percentages are currently slightly higher than that.It is likely when all the submissions are in that we'll have to reduce A* and A.

Eventually, there will be an ARC update process.  Meanwhile, CORE has a journal update template and a code update template .

Please send these to journal-ranks@core.edu.au. (or whatever the correct email is)Remember that if you propose moving a journal up in rank, you will also have to propose moving another in the same area down to keep within the percentage limits.
