An academic conference

An academic conference or symposium is a conference for researches (not always academics) to present and discuss their work. Together with academic or scientific journals, conferences provide an important channel for exchange of information among researches.

Conferences are usually composed of various presentations. They tend to be short and concise, with a time span of about 10 to 30 minutes; presentations are usually followed by a discussion. The work may be bundled in written form as academic papers and published as the conference proceedings. A conference will include a keynote speaker (often, scholars of some standing, but sometimes individuals from outside academia). The keynote lecture is longer, lasting sometimes up to an hour and a half, particularly if there are several keynote speakers on a panel. In addition to presentations, conferences also feature panel discussions, round tables on various issues and workshops.

Prospective presenters are usually asked to submit a short abstract of their presentation, which will be reviewed before the presentation is accepted for the meeting. In some disciplines, such as English and other languages, it is common for presenters to read from a prepared script. In other disciplines such as the sciences, presenters usually base their talk around a visual presentation that displays key figures and research results.

At some conferences, social or entertainment activities such as tours and receptions can be part of the program. Business meetings for learned societies or interest groups can also be part of the conference activities. The larger the conference, the more likely it is that academic publishing houses may set up displays. Large conferences also may have a career and job search and interview activities.

Academic conferences fall into three categories:

a) the themed conference, small conferences organized around a particular topic;

b) the general conference, a conference with sessions on a wide variety of topics, often organized by regional, national, or international learned societies, and held annually or on some other regular basis.

c) the professional conference, large conferences not limited to academics but with academically related issues.

Conferences are usually organized either by a scientific society or by a group of researchers with a common interest.

The conference is announced by way of a Call for Papers or a Call for Abstracts, which lists the topics of the meeting and tells prospective presenters how to submit their abstracts or papers. Increasingly, submissions take place online. A call for papers (CFP) is sent to interested parties, describing the broad theme, the occasion for the CFP, formalities such as what kind of abstract (summary) has to be submitted to whom and a deadline. A CFP is usually distributed using a mailing list or on specialized online services. Papers are usually submitted using an online abstract or paper management service.

Abstract management is the process of accepting and preparing abstracts for presentation at an academic conference. The terms prucis or synopsis are used in some publications to refer to the same thing that other publications might call an abstract. An abstract is a brief summary of a research article, thesis, review, conference proceeding or any in-depth analysis of a particular subject or discipline, and is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the purpose of the paper. When used, an abstract always appears at the beginning of a manuscript, acting as the point-of-entry for any given academic paper.

An academic abstract typically outlines four elements germane to the completed work:

a) the research focus (statement of the problem(s)/research issue(s) addressed);

b) the research methods used (experimental research, case studies, questionnaires, etc.);

c) the results/findings of the research;

d) the main conclusions and recommendations.

The abstract length varies by a discipline and publisher requirements. The typical length ranges from 100 to 500 words, but very rarely more than a page and occasionally just a few words.

Find in the text some key words and expressions to speak about presenters.
