There might be many ways to find the most prominent journals related to computer science. I think the easiest way is using Journal & Country Rank web site . It is fast and free.
Journal & Country Rank web site covers all fields. To find computer science journals just select “Journal Indicators” from the main menu and then select Computer Science as a “Subject Area”. In the “Subject Category” you should select you interested field (e.g. Artificial Intelligence). Leave the “Country” as “all”. Finally, select “H-Index” or “SJR” as ranking criteria to sort the journals and click on “Refresh” button. The most prominent journals will be appeared on top.
You can also download the list as an MS Excel file. This list will contain all journals related to your search from all countries and all publishers.
If you are looking for computer science journals from specific publisher you can go to that publisher’s web site and search for related journals.
The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) was founded by Eugene Garfield in 1960. It was acquired by Thomson Scientific & Healthcare in 1992, became known as Thomson ISI and now as Thomson Scientific. It is a component of the multi-billion dollar Thomson Reuters Corporation.
The ISI offers bibliographic database services. Its speciality is citation indexing and analysis, a field pioneered by Garfield. It maintains citation databases covering thousands of academic journals, including a continuation of its longtime print-based indexing service the Science Citation Index (SCI), as well as the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI). All of these are available via ISI's Web of Knowledge database service. This database allows a researcher to identify which articles have been cited most frequently, and who has cited them.
The ISI also publishes annual Journal Citation Reports which list an impact factor for each of the journals that it tracks. Within the scientific community, journal impact factors play a large but controversial role in determining the kudos attached to a scientist's published research record.
A list of over 14,000 journals is maintained by the ISI. The list includes over 1100 arts and humanities journals as well as scientific journals. Listing is based on published selection criteria and is an important indicator of journal quality and impact.
The ISI also publishes a list of highly cited researchers, one of the factors included in the Academic Ranking of World Universities published by Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
To search a journal in the ISI database you need it's ISSN. Some journals may have two different ISSN (one for online issue and one for print version). It is better to use print version. To reveal that the journal is ISI or not, go to http://scientific.thomsonreuters.com/ then write the ISSN number in the search box and select ISSN as a searching criteria, and press the search button. If result is empty it means the jounals is not ISI.
Services in thomsonreuters are not free and need subscription.
To find impact factor of a journal you should use JCR service.
