Conference Proceedings Indexing

Conference Proceedings Indexing

Conference proceedings indexing involves a slightly different pathway because it focuses on collections of peer-reviewed research presented at conferences. First, the proceedings must have an ISBN to be recognized as a formal publication, and the conference organizers should clearly outline the peer-review policy in their call for papers. Submitted papers undergo plagiarism screening and are reviewed by at least two independent experts to ensure academic rigor. Once accepted, each paper requires metadata creation, including author details, abstracts, keywords, and DOIs, which are exported in formats like XML or CSV for indexing compatibility.

The final proceedings are then submitted to indexing agencies such as , IF Possible Publisher and thier journals indexed by follow indexing Scopus, Web of Science’s Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI), or Google Scholar and support major Indexings depends on publishers choices. Along with the submission, organizers must provide details about the editorial board, program committee, peer review process, and the scientific merit of the conference. Once indexed, the proceedings gain wide dissemination, and each paper becomes a citable entity, increasing the global reach of both the authors and the conference itself.
