Editing Conference proceedings (section)

==Publication==
Conference proceedings are published in-house by the organizing institution of the conference or via an [[academic publishing|academic publisher]]. For example, the ''[[Lecture Notes in Computer Science]]'' by Springer take much of their input from proceedings. Conference proceedings also get published through dedicated proceedings series as an edited volume where all their inputs comes from the conference papers. For example, AIJR Proceedings<ref>{{Cite web |title=AIJR Proceedings |url=https://books.aijr.org/index.php/press/catalog/series/proceedings |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240412035012/https://books.aijr.org/index.php/press/catalog/series/proceedings |archive-date=Apr 12, 2024 |website=AIJR Books}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Conference Proceedings Publication » About AIJR Proceedings » |url=https://aijr.org/conference-proceedings/about-aijr-proceedings/ |access-date=2020-12-12 |website=AIJR Publisher |language=en-US}}</ref> series published by academic publisher [[AIJR Publisher|AIJR]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Proceedings Publication Process » |url=https://aijr.org/conference-proceedings/organizer/publication-process/ |access-date=2020-12-12 |website=AIJR Publisher |language=en-US}}</ref> Publication of proceedings as edited volume in such series are different from publishing conference paper in the journals;<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-10-01 |title=Proceedings vs Special Issue of Academic Meetings |url=https://aijr.org/proceedings-vs-special-issue/ |access-date=2020-12-12 |website=AIJR Publisher |language=en}}</ref> also known as conference issue. Increasingly, proceedings are published in electronic format via the internet or on CD, USB, etc.

In the sciences, the quality of publications in conference proceedings is usually not as high as that of international [[scientific journal]]s. However, in [[computer science]], papers published in conference proceedings are accorded a higher status than in other fields, due to the fast-moving nature of the field.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Vrettas |first1=George |last2=Sanderson |first2=Mark |title=Conferences versus journals in computer science |journal=Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology |date=December 2015 |volume=66 |issue=12 |pages=2674–2684 |url=https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1002/asi.23349 |doi=10.1002/asi.23349|url-access=subscription }}</ref>

A number of full-fledged [[academic journal]]s unconnected to particular conferences also use the word "proceedings" as part of their name, for example, ''[[Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America]]''.
