PubTier

PubTier is a web-based platform designed for analyzing and displaying publication rankings of computer science researchers. It enables users to search for authors and view their publications, with each publication matched to the official CORE ranking of its venue. The tool utilizes data from the June 2026 snapshot of DBLP and cross-references it with the CORE rankings to provide up-to-date information about where researchers have published and the standing of those venues.

The platform offers several filtering options, allowing users to refine publication lists by rank (A, A, B, C, or unranked), type of publication (conference and workshop, journal, book or reference work, thesis, informal and other), and by year, with options to sort from newest to oldest or vice versa. For each publication, PubTier displays the title, venue, type, and the corresponding CORE ranking. The methodology for assigning rankings ensures that each publication is matched to the most relevant available CORE rating, using the closest year for which a ranking exists, and applying the 2008 CORE edition for publications before that year.

PubTier is intended for individuals interested in the academic evaluation of computer science researchers, such as scholars, students, or administrators seeking to assess research output based on recognized venue rankings. The service is delivered as a web application and is currently in beta. No information is provided regarding pricing or licensing.

By integrating authoritative data sources and established ranking methodologies, PubTier serves as a specialized analytics tool for exploring the publication profiles of computer science authors in relation to the CORE venue rankings.
