Submission Data for 2020-2021 CORE conference Ranking process Graph Drawing Stephen Kobourov, Roberto Tamassia Conference Details Conference Title: Graph Drawing Acronym : GD Rank: A Requested Rank Rank: A Recent Years Proceedings Publishing Style Proceedings Publishing: series Link to most recent proceedings: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-030-35802-0 Further details: The International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD) has two tracks: Track 1: Combinatorial and algorithmic aspects Track 2: Experimental, applied, and network visualization aspects Regular papers in both tracks are 12 pages LNCS format. Both tracks also accept short paper (6 pages). A special issue of the Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications is dedicated to the best papers from Track 1. The two best papers from Track 2 are invited to the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.

The GD steering committee nominates candidates for both chairs, aiming to balance experience and youth, representation in the theoretical and applied aspects of GD, and keeping an eye on diversity. Important selection criteria include (a) high visibility and standing in the GD community and beyond; (b) strong publication record commensurate with age, in GD and either other high-quality theory venues or other high-quality visualization venues. On average, every other year we have one male and one female chair. Here’s a list of recent female GD chairs: GD16 Anna Lubiw, GD18 Therese Biedl, GD21 Helen Purchase.

However, Google does provide information about the H5-index of the GD conference (13) and H5-median (18): https://scholar.google.com.au/citations?hl=en&view_op=search_venues&vq=graph+drawing&btnG= ACM Metrics Not Sponsored by ACM Aminer Rank Not Listed in Aminer Other Rankings Not aware of any other Rankings Conferences in area: The GD conference publishes papers about algorithms and systems for graph visualization. GD is the only conference on this topic and is unique in its focus on theoretical and applied aspects of graph visualization. Naturally, graph algorithms and graph visualization are topics that other conferences publish papers about and list in their calls for papers but this is not their focus: SODA (A*), IEEE InfoVIS (A*), ESA (A), ISAAC (A), WG (A), SoCG (A), ICALP (A), COCOON (A), WADS (B), IWOCA (B), IEEE PacificVis (B), EuroVis (B), WALCOM (C). We contacted the Aminer.org team and they will add GD to their system but the analysis is not yet available. Lacking a way to extract the exact top10 most highly cited papers, we provide a list of 10 well-known GD papers along with their citations counts.
