1. Proceeding

   In academia and librarianship, conference proceedings is a collection of academic papers published in the context of an academic conference or workshop. Conference proceedings typically contain the contributions made by researchers at the conference. They are the written record of the work that is presented to fellow researchers. In many fields, they are published as supplements to academic journals; in some, they are considered the main dissemination route; in others they may be considered grey literature. They are usually distributed in printed or electronic volumes, either before the conference opens or after it has closed. A less common, broader meaning of proceedings are the acts and happenings of an academic field, a learned society. For example, the title of the Acta Crystallographica journals is New Latin for "Proceedings in Crystallography"; the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America is the main journal of that academy. Scientific journals whose ISO 4 title abbreviations start with Proc, Acta, or Trans are journals of the proceedings (transactions) of a field or of an organization concerned with it, in that secondary meaning of the word.

Examples of proceeding in a Sentence

1. Adam Schiff:

   If we're really serious about modeling this proceeding after the President Bill Clinton in particular.There trial, the President Bill Clinton in particular.There precedent is one where all the documents had been provided, up front, where all the witnesses had testified, up front, prior to the trial. That is not being replicated by the McConnell resolution -- not in any way, not in any shape, not in any form, far from it.

2. Caron Beaton-Wells:

   The ACCC has long said ... that the most potent deterrent for cartel conduct is a potential jail term, i don't think it's a sudden decision to ramp up, just that it's taken a long time to find conduct for proceeding criminally.

5. House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff:

   Now I will say this : The present circumstances are also very different than Watergate and I think for a very fundamental reason, and that is in Watergate it wasn't that the existence of tapes made all the difference, house Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff know it was certainly important, House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff know, in this impeachment proceeding, we have the existence of the call record, but I don't think that's really what differentiates then from now. I think the main difference is The President now has Fox prime time and that allows The President supporters to live in this alternative fact world.
