Peer-reviewed Conference Publications

For computer science publication venues, conference proceedings are highly selective (20%-40% acceptance rates), and are considered prestigious - sometimes more prestigious than journals. Therefore, highly-selective conferences are generally considered the most respected publication venues within certain communities such as natural language processing (e.g., ACL, NAACL, and EMNLP).
