A guide for creating a research poster.
Adapted from guide created by Dana Haugh, Web Services Librarian & Coordinator for Marketing and Communication, Yale Library.
An academic poster is an opportunity to visually tell the story of your research.
When deciding how to design your poster, you will want to think carefully about the most effective way to visually present your research to your expected audience.
Many academic conferences include poster sessions as a part of conference programming, but they may also be displayed in stand-alone events such as poster fairs. In a typical poster session, presenters stand near their posters prepared to speak with interested attendees about their work.
Many times when submitting for a poster presentation, you need only submit an abstract.
