Science - Science (general) / conference papers

Japanese term or phrase: 演題(数)

I categorized this as "science" because of the high volume of presentations at scientific conferences.... I think it refers to (the number of) papers presented at a conference, but is it full papers or just abstracts? And are these the ones actually "presented" (orally? or copies distributed?), or just submitted for consideration? Sorry, lots of questions. Thanks in advance.

Papers

Explanation:
This is slightly awkward because at a scientifice conference you are likely to have poster presentations, demonstrations, etc as well as papers presented in lecture form. You might prefer 'presentations'

I don't think you can deduce from the term itself whether these are submissions or accepted papers, etc. It would probably be premodified as below, but in the absence of anything to the contrary I would guess it's the actual number of 'papers' being presented:

Thanks for the comments; I'm asking the client to confirm the details, since it seems there's no way to know from the term alone.
