Note: Conference proceedings in Computer Science are archived and the impact factor of some prestigious conferences such as SenSys, IPSN, CHI, and UbiComp are higher than most journals. See J. Chen at. al., "Conference Paper Selectivity and Impact" in Communications of the ACM, 2010;53(6) and this memo from Computing Research Association co-authored by David Patterson (UC Berkeley), Lawrence Snyder (U. Washington), and Jeffrey Ullman (Stanford).
