A large-format poster is a big piece of paper or wall-mounted monitor featuring a short title, an introduction to your burning question, an overview of your novel experimental approach, your amazing results in graphical form, some insightful discussion of aforementioned results, a listing of previously published articles that are important to your research, and some brief acknowledgement of the tremendous assistance and financial support conned from others — if all text is kept to a minimum (less than a 1000 words), a person could fully read your poster in 5-10 minutes.

Adjust accordingly. DOs and DON’Ts 1. How to Prepare and Present a Scientific Poster. Thomas C.
Erren and Philip E. Bourne PLoS Comput Biol 3(5): e102. doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.0030102 Posters are a key component of communicating your science and an important element in a successful scientific career. Posters, while delivering the same high-quality science, offer a different medium from either oral presentations [1] or published papers [2], and should be treated accordingly.
Rule 1: Define the Purpose The purpose will vary depending on the status and nature of the work being presented, as well as the intent. Rule 2: Sell Your Work in Ten Seconds Some conferences will present hundreds of posters; you will need to fight for attention. Rule 3: The Title Is Important The title is a good way to sell your work. Rule 4: Poster Acceptance Means Nothing Do not take the acceptance of a poster as an endorsement of your work.

Poster Presentations - Designing Effective Posters - Resources by Subject - University at Buffalo Libraries. Poster Presentations - Designing Effective Posters The poster presentation is a dynamic communication tool evolving over the past four decades, as a means to accommodate the increasing number of researchers, especially graduate students, seeking a means for scholarly presentations of their research.
Since then the poster session at many conferences is a major component of meetings of professional associations and societies in many disciplines used to highlight research results and discuss their significance in an informal and interactive setting. Often posters have their own special location and times for presentation; have their abtracts and presenter contact information list in program booklets or proceedings. Recently, dynamic links to the poster itself are provided for full-poster online viewing. The poster presentation is a highly-used communication tool for students (undergraduate and graduate) to display and discuss their research experiences in class and laboratory settings.
