Early on in my career, I published in journals exclusively. Currently, I am publishing in conferences because I wish to help my undergraduate students to co-author with me.

Thank you dear Prof. Ivo Carneiro de Sousa

I always prefer publishing my papers in good journals, not in conference proceedings. In many cases the organizers publish the proceedings hurriedly makeing changes here and there without showing to the authors. Resultantly the publications might be full of errors. Futhermore, there is no proper reviewing in the proceedings in most of the cases.

Early on in my career, I published in journals exclusively. Currently, I am publishing in conferences because I wish to help my undergraduate students to co-author with me.

Early on in my career I preferred to publish in Conferences but now in Journals.

Now while working with students it is both, presentation at conferences and publication in Journal.

I prefer conference. Conference paper is more challenging to accept because instantly reviewed by multiple reviewers (experts to toddlers, may be 30 inside presentation hall) whereas the journal paper is reviewed by limited brains ( say 3 reviewers).

at Journal

I prefer publishing in a journal because it has wide readership. Some conference proceedings never get published.

Agree with saif hosam

for a beginner like me I prefer to publish in a journal to enrich my scientific career, but when I have experience I will be happy to share it with others in conferences inchallah.

Thank you dear Dr. Rana T. Alrubaie for the useful answer, You are more welcome

Thank you dear Dr. Yasmina Kellouche for the useful answer, You are more welcome

well, good question dear Dr. Bassam Tayeh , I personally prefer to publish my work in valid conference because I want to present it, learn new concepts and get valuable experience ... so valid international conferences are suitable for young scholars.

Why to prefer a conference

In computer science, your preference should be for conference publication. Here are some reasons.

1)Conferences have higher status. In part this is a historical artifact of the field of computer science, but it is self-perpetuating since that makes the best researchers want to send their papers to conferences rather than journals.

2) Conferences provide higher visibility and greater impact. Many people will attend your talk, you will have the opportunity to answer questions, and people will talk to both you and to one another in the hallways. Even disregarding the event itself, more non-attendees read conference proceedings than read journals.

3) Conferences have higher quality. Acceptance rates to good conferences are often around 10% (at least in software engineering, which is my field), whereas even the best journals are less selective. Naturally, there exist low-quality conferences (and journals), but if your c.v. is cluttered with them, then you will appear to be incapable of good work (even if the work you published in those venues really is good!), and your good publications will not stand out. A good rule of thumb is that the best conferences are sponsored by ACM.

4) Conferences are more timely. It can take years for a journal publication to appear (or even for reviews to come back), whereas the turnaround time for conference reviews is a few months, and the proceedings also appear quickly.

5) Conferences have higher standards of novelty. Journals often only require 20-30% of the material to be new, compared to an earlier conference version.

Why to prefer a journal

There are situations in which journal publication is desirable.

1) Journals may have longer page limits. If you have too many experimental results to fit in a conference publication, then a journal affords an opportunity to include them. You can also include proofs that are too long (or boring) for a shorter publication. A journal paper could recap or given an overview of an entire research area.

2) Journal reviews may be more detailed. Ideally, a journal reviewer will spend days on a paper, whereas a conference reviewer cannot afford to do so for each of the many papers he or she is assigned. Conference reviewers may believe the authors' claims (regarding a proof, for example), whereas journal reviewers are expected to verify them. Especially in certain fields, reviewers may expect that a paper will be submitted (or re-submitted) to a journal. In any event, if you get a longer review, that can help you to improve your work or to understand its shortcomings.

3) Journals give the opportunity to revise your work and re-submit it for review. Actually, conferences give this too: if a paper is rejected from one conference, then you can revise based on the reviewers' comments and submit to a different conference, or the same one the next year.

4) Journals have higher acceptance rates, giving the opportunity to get your research published. The same is true of workshops. These are particularly good venues for people who are just starting their research careers.

5) Some lesser-ranked universities evaluate faculty on the basis of journal publications, because the Dean of Engineering is unable or unwilling to understand computer science. In most scientific fields, journals have higher standards than conferences; computer science is a rare exception. A top-ranked CS department can convince the dean to use the proper evaluation metric. A lower-ranked CS department cannot (the dean may think the department is trying to fool him or her). If you are at one of these universities, you will need to publish in journals, probably by submitting slightly revised versions of your conference papers to journals. The rush for people at lower-ranked universities (some of whom are excellent researchers, and some of whom are not) to submit even marginal results to journals is another regrettable factor that tends to lower the overall quality of journals.

Many Thanks for all Colleagues reacted with this Question

Best Regards for all

Both, conference first then journal.

Conferences are easier to be accepted and faster for collecting citations and more visible to specialists, especially when attending the conference, highly reputed conferences are preferable.

Journals are more professional and collects more citations.

Expert researchers publish trimmed results in conferences, then, two or more conference papers may constitute a journal paper !

Present paper in a conference, after that publish it in a good journal.

The type of conferences is very important in this question.

It may be expedient to submit a working draft for a particular area and a reputable conference. But I have a lot of work in the hands of the journal I prefer.

Indexed journal with an impact factor is much more effective than a conference.

Thank you dear Prof. Salwan Al-Maliki for the useful answer, You are more welcome

at conference, we can visit our colleagues and share our views directly while publishing in a high indexed journal improves our academic status more efficiently. I prefer to present the abstract in a conference and the revised text in a journal

Publication in the Journal of the coefficient of influence is more useful in terms of scientific spread and scientific value of research, but I will soon launch a conference in order to strengthen the methodology of scientific research among students in the Year of undergraduate study .

At conference, in order to seize the opportunity to deliver my presentation

Thank you dear Prof. Marwan Khaleel Yousif for the useful answer, You are more welcome

Both are preferable.

Thank you dear Prof. Marwah Firas Abdullah Al-Rawe for the useful answer, You are more welcome

As a beginner in research arena, I would prefer myself for journals more than conferences.

Thats my personal opinion Dr Bassam Tayeh

Prestigeous journal with an impact factor is much more effective than a conference. This doesn't mean that confrerences are not important some of papaers puplished in cofrerences have great scientific impact.

We can consider that the scientific content is the most important

I would say it depends on what exactly I wish to publish. Sometimes journals might seem more appropriate, sometimes journals.

Dear Dr Tayeh

Each has its own privilege. In a conference, you have the chance to meet scholars from all over the world and discuss your research. You can happily introduce your research, get comments and discussions. Enjoy also your visits to some new place and new institutions.

In a journal, more people will read your work. More citations and more popularity is expected.

I guess, that would depend on the impact factor, however some conferences are good for that.

The methods of scientific publishing are numerous, and conferences are preferred as a place for communication and scientific discussion

For promotion purposes the Journals are preferred but as for ease and fast publishing for the purpose of scientific reputation Conferences are preferred. Note that for the promotion to Professor (Full) Conference papers are regarded as less quality research.

Thank you dear Prof. Houda Kawas for the useful answer, You are more welcome

Thank you dear Prof. Nabeel Hameed Al-Saati for the useful answer, You are more welcome

This depends on many reasons such as needing new communications, the impact factor, the time of publishing .......

Thank you dear Prof. Heba Y. Elbasiouny for the useful answer, You are more welcome

Dear Bassam Tayeh

I prefer to publish my works in Journals, as I am a doctor, a professor of medicine and an educational researcher; in Biomedical Journals, Clinical Medicine, Education and Social Sciences.

I am not excluding the possibility of preparing a conference with the core of the article published or to be published, where the format is different and the content has to be shorter and didactic.

Finally, both media are complementary, since their objective is to disseminate certain research results, a technological innovation or proposed models and theories.

Thank you dear Prof. José Luis García Vigil for the useful answer, You are more welcome

I think conferences are stronger and more conscientious

Thank you dear Dr. Luaay Abdulwahid Shihab for the useful answer, You are more welcome

DR . Bassam Tayeh

I thank you very much for the discussion

You are more welcome Dear Dr. Luaay Abdulwahid Shihab

We are forced by our Ministry to publish in Journals which are only accounting for our promotion on higher academic level. Unfortunately, that is a bad policy and fact :-( Conferences are minorised

Thank you dear Dr. Hidouri Khaoula

Thank you dear Prof Srete Nikolovski for the useful answer, You are more welcome

I think , it's depend on the novelty of research. both of them are suitable.

Thank you dear Dr. Seyede vahide Hashemi for the useful answer, You are more welcome

I prefer to publish in journal..

Thank you dear Dr. Azzawi Hadi for the useful answer, You are more welcome

Am interested to present my work first in conference then journal. By presenting in the conference you may get a chance to dialogue with experts in the same field, so you can add or delete the content of your conference paper and go for publication.

Publishing in journals is preferable due to the impact factor, as a result of the peer review and indexing advantage, making them authoritative publications.

Thank you dear Dr. Madhusudhana Kamath for the useful answer, You are more welcome

Thank you dear Dr. Edwin Chigozie Nwokorie for the useful answer, You are more welcome

Dear Dr Tayeh

Each has its own advantage

Publishing in a conference and attending it is quite useful. You can meet scholars from all over the world, discus your and their research, introduce your own research to large number of audience and get useful feed back, make new friends and enjoy visits to some new institutes. Unfortunately, it will be less referenced and read than journals.

Publishing in a good journal allows more readers of your research and more citations. Your work will be more popular.

Try to be publish in both. Publish in a conference only if you planning to attend.

Thank you dear Dr. Mohanad Hazim for the useful answer, You are more welcome

Conference presentations give you the opportunity to get immediate feedbacks when your research is at an early stage. A journal article gives you the opportunity to share your research with scholars around the world. Both avenues are a good way to share your intellectual work.
