Best Computer Science Journals

This ranking of top journals for Computer Science was devised by Research.com, one of the prominent platforms for Computer Science research offering trusted information on scientific contributions since 2014.

The spot in the ranking is based on a novel bibliometric score devised by Research.com which is computed by means of the estimated discipline index (D-index) in addition to the number of leading scientists that have endorsed the journal within the last five previous years. Show more

Please that the current edition is based on information collected for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022.

The list contains Impact Score values collected on 06-12-2021.

The process for scoring journals focused on analysing as much as 5,136 journals which were chosen after careful inspection and scrupulous examination of over 79,015 scientific documents published within the last five years by 8,912 leading and well-renowned scholars in the area of Computer Science.

More information on the methodology for calculating the score can be found on our our methodology page.
