Conference proceedings
A less common, broader meaning of proceedings are the acts and happenings of an academic field, a learned society.Selecting and collecting papers for conferences is organized by one or more persons, who form the editorial team.The editors decide about the composition of the proceedings, the order of the papers, and produce the preface and possibly other pieces of text.[citation needed] Since the collection of papers comes from individual researchers, the character of proceedings is distinctly different from an educational textbook.[6] In many cases, impact factors are not available,[7] although other journal metrics (such as Google Scholar h-index and Scimago-metrics) might exist.
