Proceeding vs Sammelband

edited volume / anthology

'der Sammelband' and 'das Proceeding' can both collect academic contributions in a publication. A 'Sammelband' is more general: it can contain various essays on a topic, even without a conference. A 'Proceeding', on the other hand, belongs to a conference or symposium and collects the contributions presented there. The words are easy to confuse because both can look like an academic volume with several texts. If the texts come from a conference, 'Proceeding' or usually 'Proceedings' is more precise. Otherwise, 'Sammelband' often fits.
