The exact format of references to conference papers is dependent upon whether the conference paper is published or unpublished, if it has a DOI, and how it is available (via a database, freely available on the internet, or in print). A paper included in the published conference proceedings is treated like a chapter in a book. If published in a journal, it is treated as an article.
The elements common to all references to a conference paper are:
Author Name
Title
Type of Paper
Conference Details
DOI or URL or Database Name
The following is the general format of a reference to an online conference paper. Include the DOI if available, or a URL. For conference papers retrieved from a commercial database, include the database name instead of URL.
