1, the academic conference must submit conference papers, and the conference group of the academic conference decides whether to hire or not. Academic journals must submit journal papers, and the editorial department of the journal decides whether to hire them or not, not the reviewers, who only review the papers and reply to their opinions, and the editors really decide the right to hire them.

2. After the conference paper is hired, you can choose to attend the conference or not, but the academic conference must be held, and the journal paper only needs to wait for publication after it is hired.

3. After the papers of general conferences are published, a collection of papers will be sent to you (some conferences will submit papers to international journals for publication and send them to you), but journals must be sent to you after the papers are published.

4. Generally, the review period of conference papers is relatively short, ranging from a few days to several weeks. But journal papers are relatively slow. Generally, the domestic Chinese core journals last for two months, and the general journals 1-3 weeks or so. Of course, some water journals can also be hired in a few days or even 1 day.

5. Many conference papers are rather watery now. If there are periodicals, there are also many water periodicals. I suggest you try your best to participate in authoritative meetings or periodicals. Many units of Taiwan Water Conference or Periodical are not recognized.

Many graduate students or experts and professors need to publish some conference papers. Conference paper is also a kind of paper, which is different from what we usually call periodical paper. There is also a database of conference papers in China, which collects conference papers. Conference papers are not periodicals, but some periodicals are supplements to conference papers.
