A skill for finding, accessing, and citing conference papers and proceedings. In many fields -- especially computer science, engineering, and HCI -- conferences are the primary venue for publishing cutting-edge research. This guide covers major proceedings databases, search strategies, and citation practices.
| Database | Coverage | Access |
|---|---|---|
| ACM Digital Library | ACM conferences (CHI, SIGCOMM, KDD, etc.) | Institutional or ACM membership |
| IEEE Xplore | IEEE conferences (CVPR, ICRA, INFOCOM, etc.) | Institutional or IEEE membership |
| DBLP | CS bibliography, links to proceedings | Free metadata |
| Springer LNCS | Lecture Notes in Computer Science series | Institutional |
| AAAI Digital Library | AAAI, IJCAI proceedings | Free for AAAI papers |
| NeurIPS / ICML / ICLR | ML conference proceedings | OpenReview (free) |
| arXiv | Preprints including conference submissions | Free |
Strategy 1 - Search by conference name:
Google Scholar: source:"NeurIPS" "transformer" "attention"
DBLP: Browse conference page -> search within proceedings
Strategy 2 - Search by topic across all venues:
OpenAlex: Filter by type "proceedings-article"
Google Scholar: Use keywords, then check venue names in results
Strategy 3 - Track specific conferences:
Bookmark the conference proceedings page (e.g., openreview.net)
Subscribe to DBLP RSS feeds for specific conference series
Follow conference Twitter/social media accounts for announcements
