This varies a lot between fields. In palaeontology, conference "papers" are only 200-word abstracts with no illustrations or references, and are not considered to be science. So papers are everything. I believe it's less straightforward in maths, for example, where conferences are much more important.
- ethanwhite 14y agoIt is the same in ecology - short abstracts, not considered peer reviewed, never cited.
- anamax 14y agoHow about faculty/department websites? (In my experience, they're even more up to date than conferences.)
