What is a primary benefit of presenting research findings at a conference before submitting them for journal publication?
A researcher presents preliminary findings from a memory study at a professional conference and receives suggestions from audience members about potential confounds in her design. She then revises her methodology before submitting the manuscript to a journal. This scenario illustrates how conference presentations can serve as an informal review stage that strengthens research prior to the formal peer-review process.
