Preguntas frecuentes
How do I cite a conference paper that was later published as a journal article? ▼
Cite the published version (journal article) rather than the conference presentation, as it's the more permanent and citable form.
What if I attended a conference but the proceedings weren't published? ▼
You can still cite it as a conference presentation with the location and date, but some instructors may prefer published versions only.
Should I include the conference date if I don't know the exact month? ▼
Include whatever date information is available. At minimum, include the year.
