Conference proceedings are an important venue for publishing original research and often final research in computer science. They represent a large body of the literature in this field, and are generally considered as important, if not more, as journal articles. However, the quality or impact of conference proceedings has been controversial. This research tries to compare the impact of conference proceedings with that of journal articles, studying publications of Canadian computer scientists. Specifically, the following questions will be addressed: what is the percentage of conference proceedings in the computer science literature? What are the trends of publishing in this field? And more important, are there differences between proceedings and journal articles in terms of their structure and impact? Methods: 30 faculty members in the computer science departments, schools, or equivalent from 15 Canadian research universities were randomly selected. Scopus database was searched to identify publications by each of the 30 faculty. The structure of the two types of publications (conference proceedings and journal articles) and their impact were studied. Implications: The research findings will provide a better understanding of scholarly communication in computer science field. The results will: enable research evaluators to make informed decision when assessing the publications of computer scientists; h elp computer scientists to decide where to publish their research in order to achieve greater impact, and to select what document types to read from an increasing number of papers; help computer science librarians in collection development and in information literacy program delivery. / A presentation at C-EBLIP Fall Symposium, October 15, 2014, University of Saskatchewan.

The two volumes represent the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Wirtschaftsinformatik WI2013 (Business Information Systems). They include 118 papers from ten research tracks, a general track and the Student Consortium. The selection of all submissions was subject to a double blind procedure with three reviews for each paper and an overall acceptance rate of 25 percent. The WI2013 was organized at the University of Leipzig between February 27th and March 1st, 2013 and followed the main themes Innovation, Integration and Individualization.:Track 1: Individualization and Consumerization Track 2: Integrated Systems in Manufacturing Industries Track 3: Integrated Systems in Service Industries Track 4: Innovations and Business Models Track 5: Information and Knowledge Management / Die zweibändigen Tagungsbände zur 11. Internationalen Tagung Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI2013) enthalten 118 Forschungsbeiträge aus zehn thematischen Tracks der Wirtschaftsinformatik, einem General Track sowie einem Student Consortium. Die Selektion der Artikel erfolgte nach einem Double-Blind-Verfahren mit jeweils drei Gutachten und führte zu einer Annahmequote von 25%.

The Advanced Manufacturing Student Conference (AMSC) represents an educational format designed to foster the acquisition and application of skills related to Research Methods in Engineering Sciences. Participating students are required to write and submit a conference paper and are given the opportunity to present their findings at the conference. The AMSC provides a tremendous opportunity for participants to practice critical skills associated with scientific publication. Conference Proceedings of the conference will benefit readers by providing updates on critical topics and recent progress in the advanced manufacturing engineering and technologies and, at the same time, will aid the transfer of valuable knowledge to the next generation of academics and practitioners.
