Conference Proceedings Publication Guidelines
Conference Proceedings Publication Guidelines
Conferences play a vital role in the rapid dissemination of research. Unlike journals, which often have longer review cycles, conferences allow scholars to present, discuss, and publish their findings quickly. To preserve these contributions, Jack Sparrow Publishers offers two official publication formats:
1. Abstract Book Proceedings – a collection of short research summaries presented at the conference.
2. Conference Book Proceedings – a compilation of full-length peer-reviewed papers.
Both formats provide academic recognition, indexing opportunities, and archival value, but they serve different purposes depending on whether authors submit only an abstract or a full paper.
