Reading others’ work is important for students and academics. It helps make sure our work is unique and keeps us updated on the latest in our field. But time is limited, so we need to be smart about what we read. If we find a paper that directly relates to our work, it’s essential to read it carefully, cite it, and compare our work to it. Don’t judge a paper by where it’s published; great work can be found anywhere.

Knowing which conferences to focus on can make all the difference in a researcher’s journey. 🌐 In that spirit, I’ve compiled a list of CORE computer science conferences along with their rankings. Check out the rankings here to discover the conferences that are shaping the future of our field. 📚💻

In addition to directly related papers, it’s important to explore related topics. Venue ranking can help us find high-quality places to look, especially for newer work that hasn’t been cited much yet. A good practice is to check out accepted papers in leading conferences early on. Read the ones close to your research and even those somewhat related. The community knows these papers, and if you don’t cite them or show how your work is different, your submission might face criticism or rejection.
