The article presents the results of a study which investigated the correlation between the acceptance rate and impact rating of conference papers in the field of computer science. The papers with the highest impact ratings were found to be associated with highly selective conferences, defined as those which rejected between 70 and 85 percent of papers submitted. Such papers, on average, had higher impact ratings than papers which were published in journals without being presented at conferences. A rejection rate of 85 percent or more tended to suppress submission levels and reduce impact factors, while an acceptance rate over 30 percent was associated with less prestigious conferences.
