Research publications

I would like to share some information on Research publications which is mandatory for Ph.D. research scholars. The main communcation platform for researchers or scientists or engineers are Publishing on reputed Journals, presenting their work on Conferences / seminars / workshops, Books and Patents.
A brief notes on these include
1. Journals:
    A periodical publication is intended to further the progress of science and technology by reporting new research. The Publication of the results are an essential part of research. In general, the Journal articles are permanent scientific record. Journals are normally peer reviewed by research authors. e.g. Nature, Science, IEEE and so on.
The types of journals are 
* Communications and Letters 
     * short description of results 
     * important current original research 
     * findings requiring urgent publication 
* Research notes 
     * short description of results 
     * current original research findings - less 
     * important than communications and letters 
* Articles 
    * a detailed description of results 
   * current original research finding 
   * Review articles 
   * do not cover original research 
   * accumulate the results of different articles on a particular topic 
   * a coherent narrative about the state of the art in the particular field

2. Conference Proceedings
Conference proceedings are collection of papers presented in a conference. Generally papers are not peer reviewed which can not be equaled to an journal. Some times only the abstracts are reviewed except that some conference proceedings are peer reviewed. e.g. IEEE conference proceedings.
