<p>Let's say you submit a paper to a TCS conference and it is accepted. Then you go there and give a talk. When you put this information in your CV;</p>

I keep a list of talks/posters on my website (so that I can include links to slides, and such). When I was applying for grad school I had them in my CV, too... but I think once you have enough talks it becomes too much info. On some senior researchers' CVs I've seen very compact talk lists: they include their invited or conference talks as acronyms/university names and lists of years, just to show that they go places regularly.

# Cite a conference contribution as conference paper of book chapter

(Asked by: username_0 on 2011-07-11)

Let's say you submit a paper to a TCS conference and it is accepted. Then you go there and give a talk. When you put this information in your CV;

1. do you write it as two items in different sections; first in conferences and second the published paper or just as one single thing?
2. if the paper is published in some sort of a book (book of abstracts, LNCS, etc) with ISBN, will you cite it as conference paper or as book chapter?

Thanks

1. I would just put the publication on my CV, though in the early
   stage of your career listing the presentations you've made isn't a
   bad idea.
2. Cite as a conference paper if the 'book' is the proceedings of the
   conference.
