What topics are you interested in? Following the top ACM and IEEE conferences in that area is a good start!

For example, I'm interested in human-computer interaction so I read CHI and UIST papers each year, and for software engineering I read ICSE and FSE.

Ah, if only CHI and UIST had good papers these days. :/

[azhenley]

Hey, I had a CHI paper this year! I think it publishes many great papers each year.

[toomim]

Welcome to the echo chamber.

In my experience, the only people who think CHI publishes great papers are the people publishing at CHI.

(Disclosure: I've published at CHI a few times myself. I'm done with it.)

[azhenley]

A company recruited me at CHI for an internship/collaboration and implemented portions of my research into their product, so it isn't a complete echo chamber.

[toomim]

Cool! What company and product? I'd love to see a positive example.

I remember LISA and USENIX.
