Several results are already available online and formatted, others are still in the pre-design stage.

The NETCONF Project is based on a collaborative effort to format a common bibliography on the subject of congresses and conferences. This bibliography includes references from different social science disciplines and from different eras. The study of conferences is not a new practice and there are already traces of it in the history of science. The bibliography also includes more methodologically oriented references, such as literature on network analysis. It can be accessed at the following link:
