“…Limitations of this study include using impact factor as a proxy for the importance of a journal, as other measures of journal impact exist, such as the immediacy index, PageRank algorithm, 8 and the clinical influence factor. 5 There are a number of reasons that submissions may be declined by the JAAD.…”

“…IF is often used to rank scientific journals, despite several recognised limitations well summarized by Curtis and Hunter (2006); Delavalle et al (2007); Dong et al (2005); Hecht et al (1998). Hirsch (2005) recently suggested a new research performance indicator that is designed for application at the micro level.…”

“…Most of the existing methods use Citation Count (CC) to determine the impact of publications [5,22,23]. On the other hand, there has been some work done on academic research using the PageRank (PR) algorithm [1,6,21], which considers the importance of the citing publication to rank the publication being cited. To integrate the time measurement, we have added a timing factor in the PageRank algorithm named Timed PageRank (TPR).…”

Abstract-Publication venues play an important role in the scholarly communication process. The number of publication venues has been increasing yearly, making it difficult for researchers to determine the most suitable venue for their publication. Most existing methods use citation count as the metric to measure the reputation of publication venues. However, this does not take into account the quality of citations. Therefore, it is vital to have a publication venue quality estimation mechanism. The ultimate goal of this research project is to develop a novel approach for ranking publication venues by considering publication history. The main aim of this research work is to propose a mechanism to identify the key Computer Science journals and conferences from various fields of research. Our approach is completely based on the citation network represented by publications. A modified version of the PageRank algorithm is used to compute the ranking scores for each publication. In our publication ranking method, there are many aspects that contribute to the importance of a publication, including the number of citations, the rating of the citing publications, the time metric and the authors' reputation. Known publication venue scores have been formulated by using the scores of the publications. New publication venue ranking is taken care by the scores of Program Committee members which derive from their ranking scores as authors. Experimental results show that our publication ranking method reduces the bias against more recent publications, while also providing a more accurate way to determine publication quality.
