# 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), ICORE (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 - [Full text for LLMs](https://www.myhuiban.com/llms-full.txt): this file plus a curated live-data sample (the 50 soonest open CFP deadlines, top-50 CCF journals by impact factor) for direct ingestion; the complete data set is available programmatically (see below) - [Sitemap](https://www.myhuiban.com/sitemap.xml): full list of indexable conference and journal pages with lastmod dates - [Upcoming deadlines RSS](https://www.myhuiban.com/feed/upcoming-deadlines.xml): CFPs closing within the next 30 days, sorted by submission date, cached 30 minutes - [Deadline calendar (iCal)](https://www.myhuiban.com/calendar/deadlines.ics): all future submission deadlines as all-day calendar events - [Deadline calendar (monthly view)](https://www.myhuiban.com/deadline-calendar): in-site month grid of upcoming submission deadlines, filterable by research field (`?field=ai|vision|nlp|data|network|security|se|systems|theory|hci|graphics|bio|robotics|web`) - Research-field hubs: `https://www.myhuiban.com/conferences/field/{slug}` and `https://www.myhuiban.com/journals/field/{slug}` list venues auto-tagged with one of 14 computer-science fields (same slugs as above) - [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/ICORE/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. Detail pages support content negotiation: request with `Accept: text/markdown` (and no `text/html`) to receive a compact Markdown rendition built for agents - same data, no navigation chrome, with an `x-markdown-tokens` size-estimate header. ## 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. - **ICORE** - Computing Research and Education Association of Australasia conference ranking. Tiers: A*, A, B, C. A* is the most selective. Updated periodically by ICORE 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 ICORE-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 `` 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. ## Programmatic access Two read-only interfaces: - **REST API** - OpenAPI 3 schema at [`/api/openapi.json`](https://www.myhuiban.com/api/openapi.json) (the schema itself is public). Endpoints: - `POST /api/login` - exchange email/password for a JWT (account registration is free) - `GET /api/conferences?query=...` - keyword search; optional filters `ccf_rank`, `core_rank`, `qualis_rank`, `field` (research-field slug, see above), `submission_date_start/end`, `conference_date_start/end` - `GET /api/journals?query=...` - keyword search; optional filters `ccf_rank`, `issn`, `field` (research-field slug, see above) - `GET /api/conferences/rankings/{ranking}` - enumerate conference lists; `ranking` is one of: `cfp` (open calls for papers), `past_cfp` (expired calls), `ccf` / `core` / `qualis` (tier lists), `most_viewed` / `most_tracked` / `most_attended` (popularity), `most_competitive` (lowest acceptance rate), `upcoming` / `past` (by conference date), `trending` (most viewed in the last 30 days) - `GET /api/journals/rankings/{ranking}` - enumerate journal lists; `ranking` is one of: `cfp` (special-issue calls for papers), `ccf` (CCF catalogue), `highest_if` (highest impact factor), `most_viewed` / `most_tracked` (popularity), `all` (every journal) - `GET /api/conferences/{id}` / `GET /api/journals/{id}` - full per-venue detail: CFP text, acceptance-rate history, edition history / special issues, structured ratings, comments, related venues (missing id returns HTTP 404) - `GET /api/statistics` - site-level statistics (totals, deadline/country/impact-factor/ publisher distributions) List endpoints paginate with `page` / `per_page` (max 100). All data endpoints accept the same credentials as MCP `tools/call`: a free-account JWT (`Authorization: Bearer `, daily quota shared with MCP) or per-request x402 payment. - **MCP (Model Context Protocol)** - native server at `POST /mcp` (Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0) for AI agents; listed in the official MCP registry as `com.myhuiban.www/conference-partner`. Tools cover keyword search (with rank and research-field filters), ranking/list browsing, full conference/journal detail, individual researcher public profiles (by id only - no researcher enumeration, no contact details), and site statistics. `initialize`, `tools/list` and `ping` are open to anonymous clients, so any agent can inspect the tool catalogue before signing up. `tools/call` requires either: - a free-account JWT (same as the REST API; subject to a daily quota), or - per-request payment over the **x402** protocol (HTTP 402 flow at the edge). Free responses do not expose each venue's external website; they link to its canonical Conference Partner detail page (`/conference/{id}`, `/journal/{id}`) instead. Paid (x402) detail requests (MCP `get_conference` / `get_journal`, REST `/api/conferences/{id}` / `/api/journals/{id}`) additionally include the venue's official website URL. Citing our public pages is and stays free - see "How to cite". ## 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/ICORE/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`), Korean (`?lang=ko`), 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. ## Contact - Email: admin@myhuiban.com - Issues / corrections to CFP data: edit on the relevant conference/journal page (login required).
