Publications are classified according to
four ranking databases:
- the
JCR
listings (using for each publication venue the average position in the
list in 1998-2008)
- the CORE
listings, and
- the CiteSeer
impact listings (see also the upgraded CiteSeerX listing).
Each of these databases (except CORE) maps venues to a number
between 0 and 1 (or 0 and 100%) which corresponds to the
position of the corresponding venue divided by the total
number of ranked venues (the lower the position the better).
CORE classifies venues, instead, into four discrete ranking
categories:
A+ (or
A*),
A,
B and
C. In order to have a numerical
figure with which to compare to the other databases and be
able to compute an average value, we have mapped CORE
conference rankings
A to 33.0%,
B to 64.0% and
C to 100.0%, and
CORE journal rankings
A* to top 5%,
A to 20%,
B to 64% and
C to
100%. We obtain an overall numerical ranking for each
publication as the
average of all
available rankings for the corresponding venue
(some venues do not appear in all ranking databases).
Finally, publications are classified according to this
average. Publications with average ranking 0-33% are considered as
first level, 33-66% are considered as
second level, and the rest are
considered as
third level. In the listings, for
each publication we report the individual rankings available
for the corresponding venue, as well as the global average
position, in the form of a percentage.
