Ráðstefnugrein

Ráðstefnugrein is an Icelandic term that translates to "conference paper" or "conference proceeding paper." It refers to a scholarly work presented at an academic or scientific conference. These papers are typically a summary of research findings, theoretical developments, or innovative ideas within a specific field.

Conference papers often serve as a preliminary dissemination of research before a more formal publication in a peer-reviewed journal. They allow researchers to share their work with a relevant audience, receive feedback, and engage in discussions with peers. The content of a ráðstefnugrein can range from empirical studies and case analyses to literature reviews and methodological explorations.

The process for a ráðstefnugrein usually involves submitting an abstract or a full paper to a conference organizing committee. This submission then undergoes a peer-review process, where experts in the field evaluate its quality, originality, and relevance. If accepted, the paper is presented at the conference, often orally or as a poster. The collected papers from a conference are frequently published as conference proceedings, which can be accessed by attendees and sometimes the wider academic community. These proceedings contribute to the body of knowledge within their respective disciplines.
