Canadian Journal of Information and Library Science 39, no. 1 (2015): 60-78. https://muse.jhu.edu/ .http://hdl.handle.net/10388/6736This study explored the publication pattern of Canadian computer scientists and compared the impact of conference papers and journal articles published by these researchers. It was found that conference proceedings are the preferred venue for scholarly communication, but the impact of conference papers is not comparable to that of journal articles. The potential reasons for the lower impact of conference papers are discussed, and possible approaches to improve the current scholarly communication system in computer science are proposed.enconference proceeding, journal article, computer science, Canada, biblio-metric analysisArticle
