It's rubbish at that, because "top two conferences" is too narrow a metric. </p><p>I do know that my own department has a strong group in computational biology, particularly in organ modelling. I don't know how strong, relatively speaking, but it is about one tenth of a strong department. You wouldn't know from csrankings. Not that it is misranked: it doesn't appear at all. Csrankings only considers two conferences, both in molecular biology; my colleagues publish in journals, and not in mol bio.</p>
