1. Direct Search

A. Google

•   Searching with "keyword + conference". Effective conference search results are generally within 20 pages. However, this search method may yield unrelated or low-quality conferences, so careful evaluation is necessary.
• Searching with "call for paper + conference keyword". This may increase the likelihood of finding academic conferences that are not named "conference

Tips:

o    Refine the subject keywords. Pay attention to the topics and the contents of the conferences and then adjust the keywords to find conferences more accurately.

o    Searching the full name. This can help to find some other similarly named conferences.

o    Searching the abbreviation. This can help to find conferences with similar names but different scopes.

o    Subject keywords can be found in the subject classification table: https://xkb.pku.edu.cn/docs/2018-10/20220328083301969071.pdf

 B. Twitter Search

• Searching with "keyword + conference". This can help us find some relevant tweets and accounts.
• Pay attention to the content of the account’s homepage. We can use the intelligent recommendation content (You might like/Also follow) on the account's homepage to find other related conferences.
• Searching with tags. Such as #callforpaper, #callforabstract, #country + conference, etc. (combine keywords based on experience to help find conferences).

Tips:

o    Register a Twitter account with your official email address. After registering, Twitter will periodically send some emails; then, we can find new conferences from the emails.

o    Clicking the social media account of a conference website frequently. This will help Twitter understand what we are interested in, making it easier to provide us with more

    effective conference information.

• Useful Conference Links

   Tips:

    o    Be careful of conferences named "International Conference on + specific scope" with similar times and addresses on the conference website.

         Most of these conferences are fake conferences or are organised by the same organisation without sufficient qualifications.

    o    Be careful of the conferences listed in the "upcoming conferences" section. Most of the websites titled "upcoming conference" contain fake and unqualified conferences.

2. Other Effective Methods

A. Homepage Domain Search

We can use the intelligent recommendation content (You might like/Also following) on the account's homepage to find other related conferences.

o    Preprint websites:

o    arXiv (website: https://arxiv.org/)

o    bioRXiv (website: https://www.biorxiv.org/)

o    medRxiv (website: https://www.medrxiv.org/)

B. Google Group Search

Adjust it to "all groups and posts" and select the appropriate keywords for searching. We can receive conference/academic information regularly pushed by the creator by joining a certain group, or we can pay appropriate attention to the content in "conversation". Whether it is in groups or conversations, we need to filter and choose valid groups to join and check valid conference information.

1. 直接检索

A. Google检索 

• 以“关键词+conference”为检索词进行检索。有效的会议检索结果一般在 20页之内，但存在结果相关性不强或会议质量不佳的情况，需要认真仔细判断。
• 以“+会议关键词”为检索词进行检索。可以找到不以命名的学术会议。

    Tips

     o   细化关键词检索：可以关注会议中具体Topic或 Call for Paper 涉及的内容，进而调整关键词进行检索。

o   检索会议的全称：可检索相似名称的会议。

o   检索会议的简称：可以覆盖更多会议，甚至涉及不同的方向。

o   学科关键词可参考学科分类表：https://xkb.pku.edu.cn/docs/2018-10/20220328083301969071.pdf

 B. 直接以关键词+的方式进行检索

• 关注会议账号：可利用账号主页下智能推荐内容（等）发现相关会议。
• 利用 T来进行检索：如，，#国家+conference等；之后也可根据经验对关键词进行调整。

   

    Tips

o  以公司邮箱地址建议注册推特账号，注册后推特会不定期推送邮件，因此我们就可以在邮件中寻找到新的会议。

o  日常可点击会议网站中的社交媒体账号，让推特对我们日常浏览或感兴趣的内容有更加精准的认知，有利于向我们推送更多有效的会议信息。

• 常用会议网站：

 Tips:

       o   如果在会议列表网站看到大量命名为 International Conference on + 具体 scope这种类型的会议时，需要注意是否为虚假会议。

   o   如果在会议列表网站看到同一日期举办了大量的会议，同样需要提高警惕，检查是否为同一举办机构（会议列表网站并不会严格筛查会议质量，因此会有同一机构举办的大量虚假会议）。

2. 其他有效办法

 A. Preprint网站

部分会议不提供发文服务，作者会选择 Preprint网站预先发表自己的学术成果。因此可以关注下作者发表会议论文的相关会议。

常见 网站：

o （网址：https://arxiv.org/）

o （网站：https://www.biorxiv.org/）

o （网址：https://www.medrxiv.org/）

 B. Google Group

进入页面后调整成“all groups and posts”，随后选择合适的关键词进行检索； 可以通过加入某一小组，定期收到创建者推送的会议/学术信息；也可直接利 用“conversation”中的内容。注意：不论是 group 还是 conversation 中的内容，都需要进行筛选，选择有效的 group 加入， 选择有效的会议信息进行检查。
