I think every conference has its guidelines. Some of them are published completely and others select the best papers and publish them in a selected journals.

Hi,

Most conference papers are published in conference proceedings. The best conference papers are often invited to be published in a relevant journal. a proceeding is also a publication, although it gets fewer citations than journals.

Very important question. Of course YES, it is so essential to spread knowledge plus document all publications within a conference proceeding or a trusted journals, consequently to increase visibility followed by increasing citations.

Thanks,

Emad

Should all scientific conferences be published? Yes, in agreement with the colleagues. Also, let's bear in mind that the publication of submitted works (if accepted) to conferences matters for the possible promotion of a researcher (although not in the same degree as publication to journals) while their participation (without published work) is practically of negligible importance concerning their promotion.

Not all conference papers are piblished in proceedings or Jorunals. I have been to a conference before and all they published till date was the book of abstract.

Conference is generally a place to share ideas and a place for all researchers to learn. I personally agree all conferences should be published. This will help everyone have access to the knowledge being shared. This will also encourage up coming researchers who presented papers at the conference.

Thank you for your valuable comments.

The vast majority of papers published in conference proceedings receive little attention outside the immediate community attending the meeting owing to the topical nature of the conference, so to start off with, you need to consider whether this community is the one you need to reach most. Few readers find topical proceedings and a prevalent of poor quality manuscripts will often result in a low readership even among attendees – downloads are often a fraction of that in a regular journal. This is particularly relevant for cross-disciplinary or broad interest papers where the narrow confines of a highly topical conference would be likely to result in a considerable fraction of the potential readership being missed. There are, however, three particular instances where one should seriously consider publishing in the proceedings:

If in doubt about whether to submit a paper, you might:

Interesting question and replies.

Although I opt for conferences with records, I guess there is a reason why other conferences don't publish.

I guess, from another perspective, if anyone wants to have his or her conference paper published, it is possible to find a conference to do it. I think there are plenty of conferences organized all over the world on various topics.

If you are looking at IF specifically it's important to note that proceedings are measured differently. Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI)

All scientific conferences be published, some of them published in proceedings While, another published all the papers or select papers in scientific journal

It might be the cost of publishing proceedings, that is hard to match with attractive conference fee. I like the option where some journals swow the onterest to publish good papers presented at conference, for example IAPNM congress has 3-4 journal partners.
