If the faculty member is seeking impact info for tenure review, I tell my
folks to use Google Scholar, which doesn't rank journals but does some
citation-tracking. It ain't much but it's all we've got. And good luck if
most of their work is in books. The impact of a book is difficult to
gauge, even in the sciences & social sciences.

I think the MLA Directory of Periodicals gives acceptance rates for many
journals--at least, using that, one could judge whether a journal is
highly selective (or not).

For some of the disciplines mentioned in the list below, there might only
be one or two journals... so then wouldn't they ALL be "high impact"??? LOL

1. TOG	ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG) is the foremost peer-reviewed journal in graphics field. In the colorful pages of TOG, leading researchers discuss breakthroughs in computer-aided design, synthetic image generation, rendering, solid modeling and other areas. "Research," the largest regular section, is necessary intellectual nourishment for anyone implementing graphics systems.

2. TECS	The design of embedded computing systems, both the software and hardware, increasingly relies on sophisticated algorithms, analytical models, and methodologies. ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems (TECS) aims to present the leading work relating to the analysis, design, behavior, and experience with embedded computing systems.

3. TOMCAPP	The ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications (TOMCCAP) focuses on multimedia computing (I/O devices, OS, storage systems, streaming media middleware, continuous media representations, media coding, media processing, etc.), multimedia communications (real-time protocols, end-to-end streaming media, resource allocation, multicast protocols, etc.), and multimedia applications (databases, distributed collaboration, video conferencing, 3D virtual environments, etc.).

4. TCBB	This new quarterly will publish archival research results related to the algorithmic, mathematical, statistical, and computational methods that are central in bioinformatics and computational biology; the development and testing of effective computer programs in bioinformatics; the development and optimization of biological databases; and important biological results that are obtained from the use of these methods, programs, and databases.

5. TOPLAS	The purpose of ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS) is to present research results on all aspects of the design, definition, implementation, and use of programming languages and programming systems. The scope of TOPLAS includes: programming languages and their semantics; programming systems (systems to assist the programming task, such as compilers, runtime systems, and language environments); storage allocation and garbage collection; languages and methods for writing specifications; testing and verification methods; and algorithms specifically related to the implementation of language processors.

2. TOCHI	ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI) covers the software, hardware and human aspects of interaction with computers. Topics include hardware and software architectures; interactive techniques, metaphors, and evaluation; user interface design processes; and users and groups of users. Those within the artificial intelligence, object-oriented systems, information systems, graphics and software engineering communities, will benefit from the high quality research papers in TOCHI concerning information and ideas directly related to the construction of effective human-computer interfaces.

3. TAP	ACM Transactions on Applied Perception (TAP) publishes papers off inter-disciplinary research that crosses the boundaries between perception and computer science disciplines such as graphics, vision, acoustics and haptics. The scope of this journal includes applications and algorithms in any of these fields that incorporate elements of perception. Topics include, but are not limited to: Visual: perceptually based techniques in computer graphics, scientific/data/information visualization, digital imaging and computer vision. Auditory: auditory display and interfaces, perceptual auditory coding, spatialized sound, speech synthesis and recognition Haptics: haptic rendering, haptic input and perception Sensorimotor: vestibular interfaces, eye/head tracking input, gesture input, body movement input Multimodal rendering and multimodal interaction Sensory integration

4. TOSEM	Designing and building a large, complex software system is a tremendous challenge. ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM) publishes papers on all aspects of that challenge: specification, design, development and maintenance. It covers tools and methodologies, languages, data structures, and algorithms. TOSEM also reports on successful efforts, noting practical lessons that can be scaled and transferred to other projects, and often looks at applications of innovative technologies. The tone is scholarly but readable; the content is worthy of study; the presentation is effective.

5. TODS	Heavily used in both academic and corporate R&D settings, ACM Transactions on Database Systems (TODS) is a key publication for computer scientists working in data abstraction, data modeling, and designing data management systems. Topics include storage and retrieval, transaction management, distributed and federated databases, semantics of data, intelligent databases, and operations and algorithms relating to these areas. In this rapidly changing field, TODS provides insights into the thoughts of the best minds in database R&D.
