Journal Rankings
The ERA Journal Ranking Process
Since 2006, CORE has been engaged in an exercise to rank journals in
which its members publish. In late 2008, this was overtaken by an
Australian Government exercise, the ERA (Excellence in Research for
Australia). The Australian Research Council (ARC) began a ranking
exercise of all journals in which Australian researchers had published
in 2003-2008.
These journals were allocated up to 3 Field of
Research Codes.

They
were also allocated a rank of A*, A, B or C.
Not ranked means a
newish journal.
The full list of journals ranked by the ARC as of
February 2010 may be found at

Ranking
of Computing Journals
Computing journals are largely allocated
to 08 codes.
The 08 journals have been extracted from the above list
and are presented below sorted in various ways. The original ERA format
has been preserved for each journal.
It should be noted that
while CORE had substantial input into this process, it is not always
responsible for the assigned rank, the allocated 08 code or the code
order. It has virtually no responsibility for other codes that may be
attached to a journal.
It should also be noted that journals in
0806 were largely contributed and ranked by ACPHIS -

Journals in 0807 were largely
contributed and ranked by
ALIA - http://www.alia.org.au/
Updates
to Rankings
The ERA journal ranking list is definitive until the
ERA exercise in Australian Universities is completed. There will be no
changes until 2011 at the very earliest.
CORE is taking this
opportunity to refine its metrics and update processes for journal
rankings. Details will be published on this site when they are
available.

It should be noted
that in the case of the last 3 lists, the first 08xx code for a journal
is the one used in the sort process.
