# Top computer science conferences: CORE A* and A proceedings, 2024–2026

The top-ranked computer science conferences, as a category of their own beside the journals: the conferences rated A* and A by the CORE Conference Rankings (ICORE2026), with their papers of 2024–2026, and the countries and institutions publishing the most there. Ranks are those of the CORE Conference Rankings, edition ICORE2026 (portal.core.edu.au), applied to every year shown. Papers are the works OpenAlex lists for the conference's proceedings, or for the issues of a conference-linked journal that publishes its papers (such as PACMPL, PVLDB or ACM TOG), by publication year; workshops, companion volumes, posters and Findings are left out. A paper counts once for each institution and country among its authors' affiliations as OpenAlex assigns them; papers without affiliations in OpenAlex count for none. For conferences published in book series that OpenAlex files as one source (LNCS, LIPIcs, SIAM and IOS Press proceedings), the papers are found by DOI: those of the volumes with the conference's title in Crossref, or LIPIcs DOIs, which name the conference. Conferences without DOIs (PMLR, USENIX, OpenReview) are listed without counts. A dash (–) for a year means OpenAlex has no papers of the conference for it yet: the proceedings are not published or indexed yet, or the conference did not meet that year (some meet every other year). 2026 counts what OpenAlex had indexed by 2026-11-02.

## Key findings

- OpenAlex lists 139,024 papers from 2024–2026 for 157 of the 170 conferences that the CORE ICORE2026 ranking rates A* or A: 91,670 at 57 of the 62 A* conferences and 47,354 at 100 of the 108 A conferences.
- By the countries of the authors' institutions, the most papers come from China (49,301), the United States (41,990), Germany (9,873) and the United Kingdom (9,401).
- The institutions with the most papers are Tsinghua University (5,206), Zhejiang University (4,109) and Chinese Academy of Sciences (4,075).
- AAAI is the largest conference (11,266 papers).
- OpenAlex has affiliations for 92% of these papers; 13 conferences, mostly published in book series such as LNCS, LIPIcs and PMLR, cannot be told apart in OpenAlex and are listed without counts.
