| 1 | +# The 'Icore' Field |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +The [ICORE (International CORE Conference Rankings)](https://www.core.edu.au/home) is a ranking of Computer Science conferences (A*, A, B, C). JabRef allows you to lookup a conference's ICORE rank so you can find out how highly ranked a paper's venue is. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +By default, the `Icore` field shows up under the `General` tab below the `DOI` field: |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +{% hint style="info" %} |
| 10 | +If you can't find it, you can [update your preferences](../../setup/generalfields.md) and add the `icore` field to the `General` tab. |
| 11 | +{% endhint %} |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +Let's do a quick example. Add a new Entry of type `InProceedings` and enter a conference acronym in parentheses under the `Booktitle` field (we'll use SIGCOMM here). |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Now, navigate to the General Tab and click the "Lookup conference rank" button to see the ICORE rank for the conference (which would be A*). |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Additionally, if you click the button next to the lookup button, JabRef will open the found conference's ICORE page in your default browser. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +In case an acronym isn't present in the title, JabRef will then use the full `Booktitle` to match with a conference title. We'll use this long one for our next example: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +> Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Cloud Computing and Service Science, 8-10 May 2013, Aachen, Germany |
| 26 | +
|
| 27 | +Copy-paste it into the `Booktitle` field, go to the `General` Tab, and click on the Lookup button again to see the conference's rank (which would be C). |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +The feature allows lookups for `InProceedings`, `InCollection`, and `Article` entry types and looks for conference titles in the `Booktitle` or `JournalTitle` fields. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +In case an acronym is present but it doesn't match anything, JabRef will still fallback to searching for the entire title string. If a match is not found for the full title either, a notification with "not found" will be displayed and the Open Conference Page button will be disabled. |
