In academia and librarianship, conference proceedings are a collection of academic papers published in the context of an academic conference or workshop. Conference proceedings typically contain the contributions made by researchers at the conference. They are the written record of the work that is presented to fellow researchers. In many fields, they are published as supplements to academic journals ; in some, they are considered the main dissemination route; in others they may be considered grey literature . They are usually distributed in printed or electronic volumes, either before the conference opens or after it has closed.
22-803: A less common, broader meaning of proceedings are the acts and happenings of an academic field , a learned society . For example, the title of the Acta Crystallographica journals is Neo-Latin for "Proceedings in Crystallography "; the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America is the main journal of that academy. Scientific journals whose ISO 4 title abbreviations start with Proc , Acta , or Trans are journals of

Depending on the level of the conference, this process can take up to a year. The editors decide about the composition of the proceedings, the order of the papers, and produce the preface and possibly other pieces of text. Although most changes in papers occur on basis of consensus between editors and authors, editors can also single-handedly make changes in papers. Since

Additional information was provided from articles selected from 4,000 other journals. All chemistry subdisciplines were covered: organic, inorganic, analytical, physical chemistry, polymer, computational, organometallic, materials chemistry, and electrochemistry. By 2002,

132-567: A textbook. This may even be a goal at the outset of the conference. Conference proceedings are published in-house by the organizing institution of the conference or via an academic publisher . For example, the Lecture Notes in Computer Science by Springer take much of their input from proceedings. Conference proceedings also get published through dedicated proceedings series as an edited volume where all their inputs comes from

However, in computer science , papers published in conference proceedings are accorded a higher status than in other fields, due to the fast-moving nature of the field. A number of full-fledged academic journals unconnected to particular conferences also use the word "proceedings" as part of their name, for example, Proceedings of

The index is available online within Web of Science , as part of its Core Collection (there are also CD and printed editions, covering a smaller number of journals). The database allows researchers to search through over 53 million records from thousands of academic journals that were published by publishers from around
