About Proceedings Citation Guide
An independent, source-based guide to finding, citing and verifying proceedings papers.
This site explains how to cite, find and check papers published in workshop and conference proceedings. It is written for students, researchers, librarians and editors who want a clear first reference that points to the official style manuals and platform documentation.
What it covers
- Reference formats for proceedings papers in APA, IEEE, ACM, Chicago, MLA, Harvard and BibTeX
- Searching bibliographic databases and repositories, and verifying that a reference is real
- Identifiers (DOI, ISSN, ISBN, URN, ORCID) and archiving links
- Peer review, licences and versions of proceedings papers
- Tools that run in your browser: a reference formatter and a verification checklist
How articles are made
Each article is researched from official style manuals, standards documents, platform documentation and peer-reviewed or institutional sources, and written from scratch. Sources are listed at the foot of every article. Examples of references are fictional on purpose, so they cannot be mistaken for real papers.
Independence
This guide is not affiliated with CEUR-WS.org, with any publisher, bibliographic index or standards body, and it does not rank them. The open-access CEUR Workshop Proceedings repository is a separate service at ceur-ws.org. If you came here looking for a paper in that repository, use that address.
Errors and updates
Style manuals are revised and platforms change. Each article shows its last update date. If you find an error, please use the contact page; see also Sources and methodology.
