1. Publication method: Periodical papers are usually published through academic journals, and conference papers are published through academic conferences. Periodical papers can be published in various academic journals, usually with a continuous publishing cycle. Conference papers are generally published at specific academic conferences, which can be held regularly or once.
2. Review process: Periodical papers usually go through a strict peer review process, and are anonymously reviewed by experts and scholars after submission to ensure research quality and academic credibility. There may be a review process for conference papers, but it may be relatively simple, mainly to screen out papers suitable for the conference.
3. Published content: Journal papers are usually complete reports of in-depth research on a certain research field or problem, including detailed methods, experimental results and analysis. A conference paper is usually an introduction to the preliminary research or innovation of a certain research field or problem, and usually contains less details and results.
4. Impact factor: Periodical papers usually have an impact factor, which is an index to measure the academic influence of periodicals. A higher impact factor means that the journal has a higher importance and citation frequency in academic circles. Conference papers usually have no impact factors, but some academic conferences may have their own evaluation indicators.
The choice of publishing journal papers or conference papers depends on your research objectives, needs and academic practice. Periodical papers are usually more suitable for long-term and in-depth research, while conference papers are more suitable for previous research results or tracking the latest research trends. No matter which form you choose, you must follow academic norms and the requirements of journals/conferences to ensure the quality and credibility of research results.
