@M. Jawad Sajid,

It is not uncommon to want to publish a text you present in a journal immediately, even if a conference transcript is planned and participants are asked to make their contributions available.

Usually the presentation at the conference is very short, so you change it for publication anyway. journal articles - especially if they are paper journals - have their own rules about the maximum size of the article. If there is a chance that a journal will accept the article, I would send it to the editors according to the requirements for size and formatting. An extended version with additional material etc. is then made for the conference proceedings. - or vice versa. Today, it takes at least 1 to 2, even 3 years befor a conference volume is edited, so journal reviewers are quicker. The title of both contributions should not be identical. For the journal article, you indicate where the lecture was given and - if necessary - that it is a modified version.

Kind regards, Hein Retter

Yes, it is a common practice.

make some changes and send it to a journal for publication Good luck

Presently, most conference organizers do not publish proceedings with full papers. They would just ask you to submit abstracts or extended abstracts, and in the brochure itself, they may have declared that you are free to publish your work as you like after the event. Although 'extended abstract' looks like a paper with one or two tables or figures, it cannot be construed as a full proceeding paper. An ordinary abstract is without any tables or figures, just similar to the abstract of a research paper in a journal. So, before deciding to send your article for a conference, check what kind of publication ( abstract, extended abstract, full paper) they are demanding and the status of copyrights. .

No, the same paper can't be published in a journal. However, by adding more research in the conference paper and modifying it completely, it can be published in a journal.

I agree with George Thomas opinion that a conference paper is usually an abstract & the main aim of the conference is the presentation followed by a discussion with the peer groups & students . If there are important recommendations , it can be included in the article . This should be the main objective of a conference presentation . This can be sent to the journal for publication in a more detailed manner , which will be peer reviewed & published .

of course you can. it is advisable to change the title. you know due to time limitation, some significant points are left in the conference. it is just the gist of the study presented .

I think no

Yes, You can

Dear Dr. Jawad,

Please you will need to confirm from the organizers if they made a provision to publish full papers presented in the conference. If not, then you may wish to publish it elsewhere after abstract presentation.

Thank you.

C.E.

The extended work of the conference topic or work can be submitted and published elsewhere with no fuss. If the conference proceedings are available online than you have to ensure rewriting the paper in order to overcome plagiarism issue with journal. Obviously one may not want to write the same title of publication as conference and Journal in CV so it has to be also changed. If the conference proceedings are not available online then a short extension of work (obviously with changed title) can be published successfully.

Coming to real life scenario if the same paper is published in conference and Journal. I haven't seen any rules or guidelines where they can be counted as two separate publication to fulfil your academic goals (academic requirement, research requirement, academic promotion etc.).

Since the proceedings usually give only abstracts I suppose there can not be any objection to publishing full papet

Yes you can. Usually Only abstracts are published in conference proceedings and due to shortage of time only significant findings are discussed in conference presentation so definitely you can publish a paper on this.

it depends whether you have given an undertaking to conference organizers and/or have submitted them a full paper for publication in the conference proceedings.

in case the above is no than one can publisher his/her work freely without any hesitation

Yes, you can publish full paper with detail information of data and give reference of conference proceedings also.

Apart from all the above mentioned points, most/many journals also want this information to be part of the covering letter mentioning the date, place and occasion when presented.

And to add to this discussion, one can

even publish and then later present a shortened version in a conference.

I think you can since conferences mostly publish only abstracts. Also if you have made changes to it, i think it is also wise to change the topic a bit but you can check with the conference organisers first before you proceed. Thank you

Oo yes, you can send a paper for publishing in a journal which has already been published in a conference proceeding. There is no doubt about it because, conference proceeding is not a journal.
