I want to know the difference between publishing research work in a conference and a journal.
Conference papers are usually published in Proceedings, i.e. books devoted to a conference, but sometimes also in special issues of journals. Usually, the form is the same as for papers published in journals. Conference papers may get less citations than journal publications, but there are exceptions. You may look also into these discussions:

I'm glad you asked this as it's something lots of people are unsure about.
Sometimes when people ask this question it's about impact - as in what difference in impact would a conference presentation have versus a publication in a peer reviewed journal.
Sometimes they're asking a different question, which is what techniques and approaches are needed to write a journal paper versus creating a conference presentation.
Were either of these what you had in mind when asking this question, or is it something else you want to know? I can answer either but would rather understand what your main question is first :-)
