Should a Conference Paper list the editors of the conference proceedings?

Hi there,

When adding a conference paper to Zotero, should I also list the editors of the conference proceedings?

Thanks

If the proceedings is published in a book-like form, then yes. If it’s punished more like a journal periodical, then generally not. Which proceedings are you thinking of?

Thanks bwiernik

The proceedings are "WI '17: Proceedings of the International Conference on Web Intelligence" https://dl.acm.org/doi/proceedings/10.1145/3106426

I dont think this is a book

Okay, yeah, for that one, ACM doesn't really do "editors" for its proceedings. The conference chair is sort of like an editor, but ACM doesn't cite editors for conference proceedings papers at all in its style (https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/association-for-computing-machinery.csl), so I would just omit any editor at all.

Perfect, that all makes sense
