This paper advances a novel IT-centric methodology for evaluating academic reputation within distinct computer science subareas, leveraging a Markov network-based metric known as P-score. Unlike traditional citation-based rankings, the proposed approach introduces a normalized and weighted reputation scoring system that mitigates cross-subarea encroachment and accurately captures the research impact of publication venues and graduate programs. By integrating DBLP data with curated subarea taxonomies, the study demonstrates a precision-optimized mechanism for identifying top-performing institutions and venues in fields such as Information Retrieval, Databases, and Data Mining. This subarea-specific evaluation provides actionable insights for funding allocation, policy design, and strategic research positioning within the information technology domain, revealing notable divergences in research emphasis between Brazilian and U.S. academic landscapes.
