By both selectivity and impact, premier computing conferences are preferred than journals (National Academies Press). For example, most revolutionizing deep learning frameworks (e.g.,
Transformer,
ResNet,
GAN,
U-Net) are published in conferences.
Statement by Computing Research Association (CRA) on the publication culture ("For experimentalists conference publication is preferred to journal publication, and the premier conferences are generally more selective than the premier journals ...").
