Good journals?
I don’t claim to be able to tell anyone where to publish. This page is just a bunch of approximative facts about some journals that are of interest to me. These facts alone cannot determine where you should publish and they are bias. The ordering or coloring is not an indication of the value of the journal. Please do comment this table (see below for comment form).

I think you have used citeseer impact factors? You might want to add ISI web of science ones too, IEEE PAMI has a much higher impact and JMLR has the highest of any CS journal
