Per chi non fosse iscritto alla relativa mailing list, riporto il messaggio con il quale si annuncia la pubblicazione della nuova edizione del ranking conferenze ICORE.
Un caro saluto

Dear colleagues,

The ICORE 2026 rankings has now been uploaded to the database and can be accessed atportal.core.edu.au/conf-ranks. If a submission for an addition is not in the new rankings, it is because it was not considered suitable for some reason, e.g. was not at the standard expected for rank C, or did not meet the size threshold of 10 full research papers each year. We will not be individually notifying submitters of conferences not accepted.

This round we had 34 venues identified for compulsory review. Most of them submitted and were reviewed. Six did not submit and 4 these were re-ranked from A to B, based on limited data. The other 2 retained their A rank.

I would like to take this opportunity to highlight the definition of the ranks [1], including the following points: 

  • A* is not necessarily stronger in terms of (e.g.) citations but is recognised as a flagship conference, i.e. “A* = A and flagship”
  • A is “Excellent”
  • B is “good to very good”
  • A National/Regional tag is applied for any (non-Australasian) conference that is “held in a single country (or a small group of countries), usually with a Chair from that country, and possibly organised by a national/regional body“.  National conferences often include international academics on committees and papers from international authors, and should be considered equivalent to B or C ranked venues, in other words, being National/Regional means that the conference is weaker than A, but does not indicate whether it is B or C. 

ICORE is very grateful to all the academics who have made submissions, as well as participated in committees. Without this community effort the rankings cannot maintain the balance between expert human judgement and objective data. 

I would also like to thank Jayden King who has been very responsive throughout in helping me stay on top of details, as well as refining the submission system for this round, Young Lee, the software project manager who has overseen the software needed, and Lin Padgham, who has run previous rounds, and has been an invaluable source of wisdom, experience and advice in running this round, putting in significant time to helping, despite having stepped back from the ranking coordinator role.
