Conference Proceedings & Presentations: General Format
Conference papers can be published in book or periodical form, or online. To cite published proceedings from a book, use the same format as for a book or a book chapter (excepting that the book title is capitalised - as it is the name of a conference). To cite proceedings that are published regularly, use the same format as for a journal.
