In academia and librarianship, conference proceedings are a collection of academic papers published in the context of an academic conference or workshop. Conference proceedings typically contain the contributions made by researchers at the conference. They are the written record of the work that is presented to fellow researchers. In many fields, they are published as supplements to academic journals ; in some, they are considered the main dissemination route; in others they may be considered grey literature . They are usually distributed in printed or electronic volumes, either before the conference opens or after it has closed.

Yuri Rubinsky , in cooperation with the International WWW Conference Committee (iW3C2), presented the SoftQuad Award for Excellence to Doug Engelbart at the Fourth International WWW Conference in Boston in December, 1995. Following his death in January 1996, the Yuri Rubinsky Insight Foundation took up
46-506: A binary accept/reject decision, others go through more thorough feedback and revisions cycles ( peer reviewing or refereeing). Depending on the level of the conference, this process can take up to a year. The editors decide about the composition of the proceedings, the order of the papers, and produce the preface and possibly other pieces of text. Although most changes in papers occur on basis of consensus between editors and authors, editors can also single-handedly make changes in papers. Since

After founding the IW3C2 with Joseph Hardin from
92-413: A stage upon which web developers can present "new trends and interesting ideas [as well as the] code and APIs of emerging applications, platforms, and standards." Though peer-reviewed research paper presentations, demo, and developer tracks are a large portion of the conference's program, it is not merely a launch pad for individuals who have completed cutting-edge research in the field. Students studying
115-552: A textbook. This may even be a goal at the outset of the conference. Conference proceedings are published in-house by the organizing institution of the conference or via an 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
138-419: Is supported by ACM SIGWEB . The conference's location rotates among North America, Europe, and Asia and its events usually span a period of five days. The conference aims to provide a forum in which "key influencers, decision makers, technologists, businesses and standards bodies " can both present their ongoing work, research, and opinions as well as receive feedback from some of the most knowledgeable people in
161-411: Is usually not as high as that of international scientific journals . 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. A number of full-fledged academic journals unconnected to particular conferences also use the word "proceedings" as part of their name, for example, Proceedings of
184-745: The World Wide Web . The first conference of many was held and organized by Robert Cailliau in 1994 at CERN in Geneva , Switzerland . The conference has been organized by the International World Wide Web Conference Committee (IW3C2), also founded by Robert Cailliau and colleague Joseph Hardin, every year since. In 2020, the Web Conference series became affiliated with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), where it
207-487: The Conference allows for a series of co-located workshops to its attendees dedicated to emergent Web topics. These workshops work to not only create an open dialogue amongst all researchers and practitioners of Web technologies but also a potential means of collaboration in present and future endeavors. Past and future conferences include: Conference proceedings A less common, broader meaning of proceedings are
230-643: The NCSA they decided the next Conferences in Geneva. Though the way in which its content is organized varies from year to year, the World-Wide Web Conference continues to call itself the "premiere venue for researchers, academics, businesses, and standard bodies to come together and discuss [the] latest updates and the state and evolutionary path of the Web". People from all across the world come together and submit their own new research to be peer-reviewed by some of
253-515: The National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America . Conference proceedings may be published as a book or book series , in a journal , or otherwise as a serial publication (see examples ). In many cases, impact factors are not available, although other journal metrics (such as Google Scholar h-index and Scimago -metrics) might exist. Bibliographic indexing often

Researchers and practitioners are also encouraged to submit their new and innovative work-in-progress. Providing them with a unique opportunity to gain feedback from their peers in an informal setting, the Poster Track provides its presenters invaluable feedback from knowledgeable sources as well as other conference attendees with an opportunity to learn about novel ongoing research projects whose results already appear promising, despite their incompletion. Lastly,
299-464: The Web and its associated technologies can submit unfinished work for review. Beginner as well as senior PhD students are encouraged to present their ideas to the PhD Symposium for review. This is a unique opportunity to receive feedback on their work from experienced researchers as well as other senior PhD students working in related research areas. All applications and submissions are looked over by
322-534: The World Wide Web community's most knowledgeable members. At the 2014 conference, WWW's largest program, peer-reviewed research paper presentations, fell into one of eleven categories: Those papers accepted were to be presented at the conference itself, and appear in the online conference proceedings published by the ACM Digital Library as well as the conference's website. Furthermore, many of these papers are submitted to other peer-reviewed journals after
345-596: The acts and happenings of an academic field , a learned society . For example, the title of the Acta Crystallographica journals is Neo-Latin for "Proceedings in Crystallography "; the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America is the main journal of that academy. Scientific journals whose ISO 4 title abbreviations start with Proc , Acta , or Trans are journals of

The award is accompanied by a cash payout of $ 10,000. Ted Nelson , upon receiving the award in 1998, informed the audience that it was the first award that he had ever received in recognition of his work. The iW3C2 withdrew its cooperation in 2000 after Richard Stallman
391-404: The collection of papers comes from individual researchers, the character of proceedings is distinctly different from an educational textbook. Each paper typically is quite isolated from the other papers in the proceedings. Mostly there is no general argument leading from one contribution to the next. In some cases, the editors of the proceedings may decide to further develop the proceedings into
414-429: The conference papers. For example, AIJR Proceedings series published by academic publisher AIJR . Publication of proceedings as edited volume in such series are different from publishing conference paper in the journals; 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
