(openaccess.eprints.org): Chen & Konstan's (C & K) paper, "Conference Paper Selectivity and Impact" is interesting, though somewhat limited because it is based only on computer science and has fuller data on conference papers than on journal papers. The finding is that papers from highly selective conferences are cited as much as (or even more than) papers from certain journals. Journals of course also differ among themselves in quality and acceptance rates.
