Accepted paper at conference but not presented I have wrote a paper almost a year ago which it was accepted by a peer review in a conference. However, I never got to present it there due to excessive fees of the event. I want to cite this paper now, so my question is, can I treat this paper as unpublished work or is there a formal way to say accepted in the conference, or any other appropriate way? If it makes any difference i am using Harvard citation format. Side note, is it ok to upload it to my academia webpage and make a citation to there?

There are two possible cases here:


(Default case) Your paper has not been included to the conference proceedings
volume. In this case, your paper is unpublished. It might still be possible to cite it, e.g. by uploading it to arXiv and referencing it as an arXiv preprint, but this citation would have to leave out the name of the  conference.
Despite your absence at the conference, the paper has been included
to the conference proceedings volume. In this case, your paper counts
as published and you can cite it.
