Conferences
Lists of conferences or meetings in astrophysics or specifically on planets or of interest to planet researchers. No list seems complete but their union might be:

General Resources
- The NASA ADS Bibliography service for looking for papers. Enter the author name (as "^Last_name" to look for a first-author paper), press four times on the "Tab" key to get to the starting year field, enter the initial and (TAB-TAB) final year of the paper (e.g. 2014 and 2014 if you know that the paper is from that year) and press "Enter" to search. The results will give you citations to that paper (see on the side), which is an excellent way of getting an overview of the literature and discover relevant papers.
- arXiv (pronounced "astro-ph" ;)) presents a daily list of the posted papers but it is better to sign up for the daily e-mail: no chance of forgetting to check the paper and you see the abstract directly. To register to astro-ph.EP (Extrasolar planets, the category relevant to at least some of us): send an e-mail to physics@arxiv.org with "subscribe" on the subject line and "add EP" in the body, nothing else.
- Register for the monthly ExoplanetNews newsletter that presents the abstract and usually one plot from all those who sent it a contribution. A good place to catch papers you may have missed from the daily arXiv postings or that were not announced there. And make sure to send to advertise also your paper through EPNews!
