A conference paper is a written document that forms the basis for an oral presentation at an academic conference or workshop. It is an academic exploration of the authors area of research and their research findings. Conference papers can take several forms, including reading the paper aloud, visual presentations, panel/roundtable discussions, workshops, and poster sessions. The quality of conference papers is typically ensured by having external people read the papers before they are accepted in the proceedings. Conference proceedings are published in-house by the organizing institution of the conference or via an academic publisher. The reviewing process for conference papers is typically within a fixed window, and conference papers tend to have fixed page-limits, which restricts the content to preliminary findings. The audience for whom the author is writing should determine the style, organization, and content of the paper. The introduction should explain a problem or introduce a question, state the authors claims, and map out the paper. The author should aim to stimulate and guide the Q&A session in order to receive helpful feedback on their work.
