Guidelines

Avoid Common Mistakes

 Don’t include too much information

 Don’t use a font smaller than 11 point

 Make sure your scientific message is legible and clearly stated.

 Please remember that by submitting a poster abstract, you are agreeing to be present during the poster

session to share your finding and interact with attendees.

Poster Content

The poster display should focus on the following topics/content:

 Title

 Introduction or background – Your introduction or background information should contain 3-5 short sentences

outlining information necessary to understand the study and by it was done.

 Hypothesis , Objective or Aim – The aims of the study, the questions to be asked or the hypothesis to be tested

should be clearly stated in as few words as possible.

 Methods – Outline your methods briefly. Provide details only for new methods or important modifications of

older ones.

 Conclusion, Results or Outcomes – The conclusion(s) should be succinctly stated in large type. Many viewers read

this first, so it should be easy to understand.

 References – Pertinent references should only be considered for the abstract and may be presented in a smaller

font.

 Acknowledgements or Contact – Acknowledgements should be limited to granting agencies for the abstract.

Poster Design

The design of an effective poster is a demonstration of your ability to communicate your research results. A good poster

requires considerable forethought and attention to detail.

 Avoid putting too much material on the poster.

 The poster title and headings should have letters that are large enough to be read at a distance.

 Mounting sections on colored paper may improve the graphic impact of your presentation. Avoid color

combinations that are difficult to read.
