Does presenting your work at conferences cause your related publications to be cited more? Does presenting at conferences increase the number of citations to the work presented at the conference?
I am limiting the scope of this question to disciplines where conference presentations are not publications and are not usually cited.
Statistics or evidence of some kind would be appreciated.
Yes, most definitely. The simple reason is that at conference it is relatively easy to pick up on the development of a certain field or ones own interest. And naturally, this leads to a bias towards those studies presented.
