Thread: a conference paper and a journal paper

What’s the difference between a conference paper and a journal paper? Could someone tell me if I can submit my published conference paper as a journal paper? Is that OK? I can’t make decisions. Please give me some advice.

Generally conference papers are less rigorously peer reviewed (as long as the conference organiser is happy that's enough) and are often works in progress. Journal papers are generally longer, a completed, self-contained piece of work and undergo more stages of review before acceptance. If it is a good conference paper submit it to a journal but be prepared to accept more work may be needed before it is accepted...

Yes, you can. It’s totally different things. A conference paper is not the same as a journal paper. But I suggest that you update some contents of your conference paper. Then you can find a publisher to do the journal paper publication for you .
