Note on Publication Venues

Computer science research is disseminated primarily via conference proceedings. WWW and KDD are flagship conferences of the data mining subdomain (both ranked A* by CORE). EMNLP is one of the top conferences in the natural language processing subdomain (ranked A* by CORE and based on the Google Scholar h5-index for natural language processing venues). AAAI is one of the top conferences in the artificial intelligence subdomain (ranked A* by CORE and based on the Google Scholar h5-index for artificial intelligence venues).

Academic business research is disseminated primarily via journal publications. Management Science, Marketing Science, Information Systems Research and Journal of Marketing Research comprise the highest tier of journals in the information systems and quantitative marketing subdomain (ranked by the Financial Times).
