Conference events index

The Knowledge Base allows you to enter information about conferences:

• organized by the unit (documentation of the activities of the organizational unit). More in the Section
  Conferences organized by the university units

• events (description of a conference event organized by any entity, not necessarily from a given university)

• titles of serial conferences (description of published post-conference materials, scored or not, depending on the rules applicable in a given evaluation period).

The conference event records can be used in bibliographic records, in particular to indicate the conference in conference materials (proceedings)

This chapter discusses descriptions of conference events.

The conference worksheet contains the section Basic Information. The mandatory fields are:

• Full name

• Year

Open

However, to obtain a complete description, it is worth completing as many fields as possible

• The Start Date and End Date fields should be selected from the calendar available om the worksheet

• The Country field is filled in from the index

• the remaining fields must be entered manually

The system supports a special index of conference titles (see Conference series index), where the serial conference titles can be stored. It is especially useful, if the university applies a scoring system rewarding publications from selected series. In such a case, in the Conference title one can select a title from the list, which will result in scoring publications from the conference event.

If an event record is created from the publication description level, when saving it, check the box: Is the given record new, should I enter it into the main list? It will be remembered in the index.
