We have published International conference proceedings publication with ISBN.
Then I have doubt that it should be consider under Edited book or not?
It is already having Editorial Board and Reviewer List.
All selected papers are peer reviewed and Edited by Editorial team.
Few academicians are saying Conference proceedings doesn't come under book category!
No any evidence document to say - Yes...! its Edited book.
So I am going through expert opinion like you!
Please share your view on this....
An edited book is a collection of articles or chapters written by different authors on the same subject. An edited book might be a collection of published articles by a single author or a collection of essays.
Conference proceedings are published in-house by the organizing institution of the conference or via an academic publisher.
So in my opinion, by applying the rule of equivalency, both may be treated equal.
Thank you Hein Retter for your response...!

Dear Vishnu Kumar and Mahesh kumar,
Thanks for your response.
My question is: proceedings with ISBN publication ;
We should consider it as Edited book or not?
If not then what is meaning of ISBN?
Why are we asking for proceedings is published with ISBN or not During Paper submission....?
Dear Dr. Deshpande Ji
In my opinion both may be treated equal.
With best regards
In my opinion, edited books and conference proceedings are equivalent; the standard of peer review may vary drastically within either type.
However, the crucial difference that an ISBN makes it that with an ISBN the conference proceedings are formally published. In the UK that means that copies have to be sent to the copyright libraries (I don't know what happens in other countries where copyright laws are different). Without an ISBN they are unpublished, like a PhD thesis.
Best wishes,
