Paper accepted for poster presentation in IEEE, what are the chances of it being published? I had recently submitted a paper to an IEEE conference and got accepted, but for poster presentation. This is the very first time I have written a paper. Although it is a great achievement for me given my inexperience in the field, my goal is to get it published. 


Does IEEE publish papers accepted for posters presentations? 
Should I pass on the poster presentation and send my paper to a journal?
It depends on the particular conference and the field.  In computer science (where the main publication venue is conferences), many conferences divide the published papers into "talks" and "posters" (eg NIPS, AISTATS, ...), and there's no difference in terms of publication.

In most other fields, however, acceptance at a conference means nothing, and you have to get published in a journal.

TL;DR: ask your advisor.
