A conference proceeding is the published record of an academic meeting such as a conference, workshop, congress, symposium, or other professional meeting hosted by an academic or research organization.

The papers presented at an academic meeting go by a variety of names, like papers, abstracts, extended abstracts, poster abstracts, manuscripts, presentations, etc. The collection, which includes only abstract or extended abstract of papers presented by the participants known as Abstract book. Refer to Abstract Book for more detail on the conference book of abstracts publication with AIJR. If the publications are filled with full-length papers, they are considered proceedings, or conference proceedings. Conference proceedings show the leading edge of research by revealing emerging trends and new ideas before they appear in journals. Conferences and other professional meetings have their own impact by allowing other researchers to be involved and influence the direction of research at the early stages.

Curious About Proceedings?

Conference proceedings typically contain the contributions made by researchers at the conference or other professional meetings. They are the written record of the work that is presented by fellow researchers which are usually distributed in electronic or/and printed volumes, either before the conference opens or after it has closed. Since the collection of papers comes from individual researchers, the character of proceedings is distinctly different from an educational textbook. Mostly there is no general argument connecting one contribution to the next paper. Each paper typically is quite isolated from the other papers in the proceedings. Most of the papers presented at conferences are working papers to present new concepts and techniques in a field that is not fully developed.  Hence, conference proceedings enable other researchers to be involved and influence the direction of research at the early stages.

Conference proceedings are a way to engage with leading-edge research prior to scholarly journal publication.  They may include findings, innovations, best practices, or new methodology. Young researchers may find conference proceedings very helpful in connecting with research trends, researchers, and institutions doing research on a particular topic of interest. Proceedings allow researchers to disseminate new concepts and techniques in a field that is not fully developed in a less formal setting than peer-reviewed journals.
