I haven’t read the article myself, but it’s worth noting that in CS as a whole and especially ML/CV/NLP, selective conferences are generally seen as the gold standard for publications compared to journals. The top conferences include NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, CVPR for CV and EMNLP for NLP.

It looks like the journal in question is a physical sciences journal as well, though I haven’t looked much into it.
