Citing a published conference proceeding article, to support a case or a scenario in a paper, is it inferior to citing a published journal article? In the cases where you can only find conference proceedings article supporting a certain case, is it enough evidence?
Peter Samuels
Generally speaking, conference proceedings articles are inferior to journal articles because they are generally edited rather than peer reviewed. However, both types of source are on a spectrum. You will also need to critically evaluate each source and its relevance to your claim to determine whether the evidence provided is sufficient.
In summary, it might be sufficient to cite a conference proceedings article but it depends upon a number of factors.
