What's the difference between essays and periodicals? The difference between prose collections and periodicals is obvious. They are two completely different publications, but at the same time, periodicals and prose collections can also be related, so it is best to understand them by combining specific types of publications and collections.

A periodical is a very common publication. In China, there are general journals and academic journals. Academic journals are more suitable for publishing academic papers, and academic journals are hierarchical. Provincial, national and core levels are commonly used. Periodical is a continuous publication published regularly, which can be published monthly, quarterly or semi-annually.

Papers can be published regularly or irregularly. There are generally two kinds of papers, one is published by official journals, and the other is published by academic conferences. The first essay is basically not recognized in job evaluation and promotion.

The proceedings of academic conferences are usually recognized, so on the whole, the value and recognition of journals are generally higher than the proceedings. Of course, there are also some authoritative meetings with great influence, and the published papers are also recognized.

In general, it is not recommended that the author publish a collection of papers unless it is a conference paper. When publishing conference papers, special attention should be paid to the conference where the collected works are published. Without the publication of anthology, the publication of articles is basically meaningless.
