Paper | :confused:

[Electroenthusiast]

I wish to write a journal/paper, and i do have some ideas in me. My mind is full of mysteries about papers, journals and conferences, creating confusion inside me about the differences in between them. I badly need to do something different, i thought writing a paper would be so. Can anyone help me get-out of it? I do want to know which is suitable for me.
I also request someone to help me getting started with it.

Well, my mind is full of mysteries about what your knowledge/abilities are. It's rather hard to recommend something suitable for you without knowing that.

I would like to know whats the difference between them ^ .
My contribution will be like a new idea, that would hopefully serve the mankind, though it would require further modification and research.

My mind is full of mysteries about papers, journals and conferences, creating confusion inside me about the differences in between them.

Let me see if I can de-mystify it for you.

A Paper.
Written words describing some work or investigation which has been done by an individual or a team, usually on a very specific subject.

A Journal.
Two possible meanings here I think.
1 A record of work done, usually written up on a daily basis. More usually referred to as a log book or a diary.
2 A regular publication, usually by a learned society such as the IET ot IEEE which contains amongst other things papers which have been prepared various authors.

A Conference.
A meeting of like-minded individuals where scientific and technical matters are discussed and papers are presented by their authors.
Often held at a plush 5 star hotel, where the delegates my spend their companies money with gay abandon!

H! JimB,
That was clear for me.
Since i had the membership, i went through some conferences papers and journal paper in IEEE website. Technically, i didnt find major differences between them(i mean in terms of writing them).
Now, i pose a question ' Why do people choose journal/conference, if both are meant for same? '. What about their cost, and success rates and which is more effective?
