Top conferences such as SigComm, InfoComm S&P, POPL, LICS got high proportions of 4* This is to be expected as they often have substantial papers similar to length of those in top journal with considerable rigour.
However some of the systems conferences had comparatively few papers submitted e.g only 8-12.
Top journals such as ACM/IEEE TON also had high proportions of 4*
There were some Computer Networks papers rated 4* but not a high proportion.
Although the REF panel does not rate venues,but rated the papers, top venue papers were often rated highly but not always.
In Computing the TOP conference papers generally better than MOST Journal papers.
Only about 25% of the submissions were conferences. The overall percentage of 4* journal papers was higher than for conferences
