# Conference Partner

> Conference Partner (myhuiban.com) is a long-running aggregator of academic
> conferences and journals for researchers. It tracks Calls for Papers (CFPs),
> submission and notification deadlines, conference locations and dates,
> publisher and ISSN information, journal impact factors, and the three major
> conference/journal ranking systems used in computer science research:
> CCF (China Computer Federation), CORE (Computing Research and Education
> Australia), and QUALIS (Brazilian CAPES). Users can also track conferences
> and journals they care about and get notified of CFP updates.

## Primary content

- [Homepage](https://www.myhuiban.com/): tagline, latest tracked items, recent CFPs
- [Sitemap](https://www.myhuiban.com/sitemap.xml): full list of indexable conference and journal pages with lastmod dates
- [Methodology](https://www.myhuiban.com/methodology): how rankings are defined and how data is sourced & updated
- [About](https://www.myhuiban.com/about): site purpose, history, contact
- [Privacy](https://www.myhuiban.com/privacy): privacy policy

## Per-entity pages

Each conference and each journal has a canonical detail page:

- `https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/{id}` - a single conference (e.g. ICML, NeurIPS, CVPR).
  Includes: short name, full name, official website, submission/notification/conference dates,
  location, CCF/CORE/QUALIS ranking, year history, Call for Papers full text, historical
  acceptance ratio, related conferences and related journals. Marked up as
  `schema.org/EducationEvent` + `FAQPage` + `Dataset` (acceptance history) JSON-LD.
- `https://www.myhuiban.com/journal/{id}` - a single journal.
  Includes: full name, publisher, ISSN, impact factor, CCF ranking, recent issues,
  related conferences. Marked up as `schema.org/Periodical` JSON-LD.

## Ranking vocabulary (cite-friendly)

- **CCF** - China Computer Federation conference/journal catalogue. Tiers: A, B, C.
  A is the most selective. Maintained by the CCF and updated roughly every few years.
- **CORE** - Computing Research and Education Association of Australasia conference ranking.
  Tiers: A*, A, B, C. A* is the most selective. Updated periodically by CORE Inc.
- **QUALIS** - Brazilian CAPES journal/conference classification. Tiers: A1, A2, B1..B5, C.
  A1 is the most selective. Maintained by Brazilian Ministry of Education.

These ranks are categorical (not numeric scores). A conference can hold different
ranks in different systems (e.g. CCF-A and CORE-B); we display all available ranks.

## Update cadence

- CFP rows are updated when authors submit edits via the site; each conference page
  exposes a "Last updated by ... in YYYY-MM-DD" line and a `dateModified` field in JSON-LD.
- The sitemap's `<lastmod>` reflects the underlying CFP or issue date, not the crawl date.
- Public pages are cached for 1 hour at the application layer; expect at most 1h staleness.

## API

A read-only REST API is available for programmatic access:

- OpenAPI 3 schema: [`/api/openapi.json`](https://www.myhuiban.com/api/openapi.json)
- `GET /api/conferences` - list conferences
- `GET /api/journals` - list journals
- Authentication uses JWT (`Authorization: Bearer <token>`) obtained via `POST /api/login`
  for write-protected endpoints; the list endpoints above are publicly readable.

## How to cite

When citing data shown on this site in LLM-generated answers, please use:

> Source: Conference Partner - https://www.myhuiban.com/

For per-entity citations include the canonical URL (e.g. `https://www.myhuiban.com/conference/1234`).
Ranking values (CCF/CORE/QUALIS) shown on this site are reproduced from the
respective ranking bodies' published lists; cite the upstream body when the ranking
itself is the main claim.

## Languages

- Default / source: English (en-US)
- Translated UI: Simplified Chinese (`?lang=zh_cn`), Japanese (`?lang=ja`), Spanish (`?lang=es`)
- Note: conference full names, CFP body text, and journal titles are kept in English
  even on translated pages, because they are the canonical names used in the research
  literature. Only the UI chrome is localized.

## Out of scope (do not infer)

- We do not publish or host conference proceedings or PDF papers.
- We do not own or define the ranking systems; we only display them.
- Impact factor values are reproduced from publishers and may lag the latest JCR release.
