Dear scientific community,
As a novice researcher, I would like to ask you about some clarification and suggestions. There are two types of publications: conference papers and journal papers. Which one is better to focus on? This is my first question.
As I understand, if I want to participate at a conference, I need to submit a paper after my presentation. I will not be able to use it again as a journal article. I will go directly and ask, what is the point of conference papers? Do you find a conference and then write a conference paper, or do you write a conference paper at first and then participate? These are my second and third questions.
If I go with a journal article, can I present its results at conferences but reject to submit any conference papers? This is my fourth question.
I need to participate at conferences and to write journal articles. However, I see them as two different paths and I do not find connections between them. It is as if I go with a conference paper, I should stick only to it. If I stick to the journal article, I should go only with it. Two different types of work. Why then I need conference papers if journal articles give more points. I am confused and try to understand more how to plan my work, what strategy to use. I hope for your help. Thank you.

Usually conferences announcements call for participants to submit papers on certain topics . So, your participation could be a work in progress or a finished one that was published in the past but matches the required topics of the conference. Then at the end of the conference, the organizing institution would collect all participations and publish them in one issue. However, you cannot submit a paper you already published in a conference to be your new submission for a separate journal.
