Conference presentations are usually brief and often report preliminary results of research. Journal papers go into much more detail and often based on a much more through analysis of more extensive data.

I do not disagree with Ian's estimate of one journal paper equaling two conference papers....

However for specific information on how your school values journals versus conferences for purposes of promotion and tenure, ask the officials at your school. Every school may be different.

Your question is not clear. Do you mean: "Is it ethical for a famous and highly regarded researcher to publish the same research at a conference and later in the publishing group's journal?" ???

1 Journal paper counts for about 2 conference papers for promotion purposes.

Start first with low risk conference papers, to gain confidence and to learn. Once you understand the process, proceed to journal papers.

It is easier and quicker to publish in a book of conference proceedings. The process for standard journal publication may take up to one year.
