Best Computer Science Journals for Computer Networks and Communications

The ranking of best journals for Computer Networks and Communications was created by Research.com, one of the prominent websites for Computer Science research offering accurate data on scientific output since 2014.

The spot on the list is based on a novel bibliometric score devised by Research.com which is computed using the approximated discipline index (D-index) and the number of top scientists that have endorsed the journal during the previous five years. Show more

Please that this year's edition is based on metric gathered for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022.

The list displays Impact Score score aggregated on 06-12-2021.

The process for evaluating journals focused on examining as much as 5,136 journals which were selected after careful inspection and rigorous examination of more than 79,015 scientific papers published during the last five years by 8,912 leading and well-renowned researchers in the area of Computer Networks and Communications.

More information on the methodology for computing the metrics can be found on our our methodology page.
