Posters vs. Papers
• Papers are designed to appeal to editors of
scholarly journals.
• Posters are designed to appeal to peers and
colleagues at conferences
• A paper presents all the information; a poster
presents the most important information.
• A poster presentation allows for the exchange of
ideas and information regarding your research.
Poster
The ideal poster is designed to:
• provide a brief overview of your research work;
• initiate discussion;
• attract attention;
• give something useful to point to as you discuss
your work;
• stand alone when you are not available to
provide an explanation;
• inform people of your particular expertise.
Developing the Content
The most effective poster presentations provide
minimal text but still clearly define the central
message by following a standard format.
• Title and Affiliations
• Introduction
• Methodology
• Results
• Discussion / Conclusion
