Conference proceedings are the collections of papers that are presented at conferences, they may be published in book format, as special issues of a journal, or as a serial. They can be difficult to find and sometimes not all of the paper is published.

Some proceedings may be freely available online. Try searching for the title as a phrase using quotation marks("). Many organizations have details of past and future conferences on their website. Sometimes the full text of previous conferences is available.

A citation for a conference paper will look something like:
