What is a Research Poster?

Posters are widely used in the academic community, and most conferences include poster presentations in their program.  Research posters summarize information or research concisely and attractively to help publicize it and generate discussion. 

The poster is usually a mixture of a brief text mixed with tables, graphs, pictures, and other presentation formats. At a conference, the researcher stands by the poster display while other participants can come and view the presentation and interact with the author.

What Makes a Good Poster?

• Important information should be readable from about 10 feet away
• Title is short and draws interest
• Word count of about 300 to 800 words
• Text is clear and to the point
• Use of bullets, numbering, and headlines make it easy to read
• Effective use of graphics, color and fonts
• Consistent and clean layout
• Includes acknowledgments, your name and institutional affiliation

Conference attendees will look at your poster only briefly, so a clear presentation is crucial

A scientific poster is an illustrated abstract of research that is displayed at meetings and conferences. A poster is a good way of presenting your information because it can reach a large audience, including people who might not be in your field. It is also a useful step towards publishing your research. Some conferences publish poster abstracts, which then count as publications in their own right.

A successful poster captures the viewer’s attention and communicates the key points clearly and succinctly. One author reviewed 142 posters at a national meeting and found that 33% were cluttered or sloppy, 22% had fonts that were too small to be easily read, and 38% had research objectives that could not be located in a one minute review. 1 Avoiding these mistakes is important to ensure your poster has a positive impact.

Where do I start?

If you have completed a project, you will need to research the right meeting or conference to submit your abstract to, if you have not done so already. You might need to ask your supervisor or consultants in the field of your topic for information about relevant conferences at which you can present your work.

You will usually be asked to submit an abstract online. The submission guidelines on the website should guide you on how to do this, as well as provide other valuable information such as formatting instructions and deadlines. Your abstract should state why your work is important, the specific objective or objectives, a brief but clear explanation of the methods, a summary of the main results, and the conclusions. I would not recommend adding the abstract to your poster unless this was stated in the conference guidelines because a poster is already a succinct description of your work; use it as an outline for your poster.

Follow submission guidelines carefully because they differ among meetings. Start putting your poster together early to avoid the stress of last minute printing queues.

Designing the poster

According to the 10-10 rule, attendees spend only 10 seconds scanning posters as they stroll by from a distance of 10 feet. 2 Your poster should be well laid out, with a visual representation preferable to large chunks of text. Diagrams, tables, and photographs aid readability and attract people. Guide the viewers’s eyes from one frame to another in a logical fashion from beginning to end. Set up this pattern via a columnar format, so the viewer reads vertically first, from top to bottom, moving across the columns from left to right. ⇓

Text and font

It’s important to make the writing in your poster clear and easily understandable—remember that readers won’t give it much time. Use plain language and write in the active voice (“We did this,” rather than, “This was done.”) Avoid jargon and acronyms. Use simple language and short sentences. Edit ruthlessly. If it’s not relevant to your message, remove it.

Avoid using uppercase text for more than one sentence because it becomes difficult to read. Keep text to a minimum. Whenever possible, use bulleted text rather than blocks of sentences and leave blank space around the text and throughout the poster.

Use sans serif fonts such as Arial or Helvetica, or fonts such as Times or Times New Roman, which are generally considered to help legibility for posters. If you want a different look, consider Baskerville, Century Schoolbook, or Palatino. The font should be consistent throughout the poster and text should be legible 5 to 6 feet away. Use at least 85 point for the title, 56 point for the authors’ names, 36-44 point for subheadings, 24-34 point for text in the main body, and 18 point for captions.

Use colour to attract attention, organise, and emphasise, but don’t overdo it. Use a maximum of two or three colours and consider people who have problems differentiating colours. One of the most common forms of colour blindness is an inability to tell green from red. Black type on a white background is standard practice, and patterned backgrounds should be used with caution.

Microsoft Powerpoint is easy to use and most people have access to it. Lay your poster out on a single slide. There are several other programs that can be used to design a poster, such as QuarkXPress, 3 InDesign, 4 LaTeX, 5 and Scribus (a free download). 6 These programs allow control of text wrapping around images and text flow among associated text blocks. One piece of software specifically targets the scientific poster market: PosterGenius. 7

The title is most effective when it refers to its overall “take home message.” It should include the scope of the investigation, the study design, and the goal. In general the title should highlight your subject matter, but need not state all your conclusions. It should be about 10-12 words long and the font size should be large, 85 point. If things don’t fit, shorten the title; don’t reduce the typesize. And remember, titles that are in uppercase lettering are hard to read.

The author who was involved most is listed first and the most senior author is listed last. Some posters will have the addresses of the institution to which the authors are affiliated.

Break up your poster into sections, much like a scientific article. Label all the sections with titles: introduction, methods, results, conclusion, references, and acknowledgements.

Introduction

Write a few brief sentences to identify what is known about the topic, why you did the research, and the aim or aims of your work. This section can also include your hypotheses, which usually go at the end of the introduction.

Explain what you did. For a study involving people, you should explicitly state whether the study was retrospective or prospective, and whether there was randomisation. Your data analysis and statistics used should also be described, including what P value you chose to indicate significant differences.

Select the most important results that support your message. Images and graphs say more than words. Tables and figures should be used to illustrate your study’s results, and they should be clear, self explanatory, and uncomplicated. They should be numbered, and referred to by number in the text—for example, “see figure 1”). Make sure figures have a title and a legend. Keep text to a minimum. Graphs and charts should have an appropriate scale and labelled axes. Orient text for graphs horizontally, including labels for vertical axes.

Write short, clear statements explaining the main outcomes of the study and why your results are interesting or important. You can also suggest future directions for research that build on your current study.

References should be limited to five, and the font size should be smaller than the poster text. Check on the organisation’s website for formatting instructions.

Acknowledgements

Write up a short acknowledgement section to thank those who helped you to complete your research, such as your research group or funding source. You should disclose any conflicts of interests that might exist.

Practicalities

Find out if the library based at your hospital site has the facilities to print your poster. Alternatively, you could upload your poster onto an internet site that will print and deliver the poster to you. Some conferences print posters on site so that you can collect them when you arrive.

If you do upload your poster online, make sure you set the dimensions on the file to match those in the conference guidelines. If you are travelling with your poster, make sure it is packaged in a plastic tube to protect the paper from getting damaged. If you are travelling by air, you should inform the staff at the check-in desk that you have extra hand luggage so that you do not have any problems taking your poster onto the aircraft.

Presenting the poster

When someone stops to look, you should be able to introduce your poster in 10 seconds and that person should be able to assimilate all of the information and discuss it with you in 10 minutes. 2 Some conferences will allocate time for you to present your poster to a small group of colleagues who also have posters in the same category as you. Check the conference website for details.

Place a note on your poster board listing the times you will be available by the board for those who would like to discuss the poster outside the formal presentation time. Prepare mini sized poster handouts or handouts of the key points for participants to take away. Make it easy for a conference attendee to contact you afterwards. Have your contact details clearly displayed on your poster and handouts. Posters are a great way to gain feedback from your colleagues and for networking and collaborating, and this should support you in writing up your research for publication.

Preparing and Presenting Effective Research Posters

Associated data.

APPENDIX A.2. Comparison of Research Papers, Presentations, and Posters—Contents.

Posters are a common way to present results of a statistical analysis, program evaluation, or other project at professional conferences. Often, researchers fail to recognize the unique nature of the format, which is a hybrid of a published paper and an oral presentation. This methods note demonstrates how to design research posters to convey study objectives, methods, findings, and implications effectively to varied professional audiences.

A review of existing literature on research communication and poster design is used to identify and demonstrate important considerations for poster content and layout. Guidelines on how to write about statistical methods, results, and statistical significance are illustrated with samples of ineffective writing annotated to point out weaknesses, accompanied by concrete examples and explanations of improved presentation. A comparison of the content and format of papers, speeches, and posters is also provided.

Each component of a research poster about a quantitative analysis should be adapted to the audience and format, with complex statistical results translated into simplified charts, tables, and bulleted text to convey findings as part of a clear, focused story line.

Conclusions

Effective research posters should be designed around two or three key findings with accompanying handouts and narrative description to supply additional technical detail and encourage dialog with poster viewers.

An assortment of posters is a common way to present research results to viewers at a professional conference. Too often, however, researchers treat posters as poor cousins to oral presentations or published papers, failing to recognize the opportunity to convey their findings while interacting with individual viewers. By neglecting to adapt detailed paragraphs and statistical tables into text bullets and charts, they make it harder for their audience to quickly grasp the key points of the poster. By simply posting pages from the paper, they risk having people merely skim their work while standing in the conference hall. By failing to devise narrative descriptions of their poster, they overlook the chance to learn from conversations with their audience.

Even researchers who adapt their paper into a well-designed poster often forget to address the range of substantive and statistical training of their viewers. This step is essential for those presenting to nonresearchers but also pertains when addressing interdisciplinary research audiences. Studies of policymakers ( DiFranza and the Staff of the Advocacy Institute 1996 ; Sorian and Baugh 2002 ) have demonstrated the importance of making it readily apparent how research findings apply to real-world issues rather than imposing on readers to translate statistical findings themselves.

This methods note is intended to help researchers avoid such pitfalls as they create posters for professional conferences. The first section describes objectives of research posters. The second shows how to describe statistical results to viewers with varied levels of statistical training, and the third provides guidelines on the contents and organization of the poster. Later sections address how to prepare a narrative and handouts to accompany a research poster. Because researchers often present the same results as published research papers, spoken conference presentations, and posters, Appendix A compares similarities and differences in the content, format, and audience interaction of these three modes of presenting research results. Although the focus of this note is on presentation of quantitative research results, many of the guidelines about how to prepare and present posters apply equally well to qualitative studies.

WHAT IS A RESEARCH POSTER?

Preparing a poster involves not only creating pages to be mounted in a conference hall, but also writing an associated narrative and handouts, and anticipating the questions you are likely to encounter during the session. Each of these elements should be adapted to the audience, which may include people with different levels of familiarity with your topic and methods ( Nelson et al. 2002 ; Beilenson 2004 ). For example, the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association draws academics who conduct complex statistical analyses along with practitioners, program planners, policymakers, and journalists who typically do not.

Posters are a hybrid form—more detailed than a speech but less than a paper, more interactive than either ( Appendix A ). In a speech, you (the presenter) determine the focus of the presentation, but in a poster session, the viewers drive that focus. Different people will ask about different facets of your research. Some might do policy work or research on a similar topic or with related data or methods. Others will have ideas about how to apply or extend your work, raising new questions or suggesting different contrasts, ways of classifying data, or presenting results. Beilenson (2004) describes the experience of giving a poster as a dialogue between you and your viewers.

By the end of an active poster session, you may have learned as much from your viewers as they have from you, especially if the topic, methods, or audience are new to you. For instance, at David Snowdon's first poster presentation on educational attainment and longevity using data from The Nun Study, another researcher returned several times to talk with Snowdon, eventually suggesting that he extend his research to focus on Alzheimer's disease, which led to an important new direction in his research ( Snowdon 2001 ). In addition, presenting a poster provides excellent practice in explaining quickly and clearly why your project is important and what your findings mean—a useful skill to apply when revising a speech or paper on the same topic.

WRITING FOR A VARIED PROFESSIONAL AUDIENCE

Audiences at professional conferences vary considerably in their substantive and methodological backgrounds. Some will be experts on your topic but not your methods, some will be experts on your methods but not your topic, and most will fall somewhere in between. In addition, advances in research methods imply that even researchers who received cutting-edge methodological training 10 or 20 years ago might not be conversant with the latest approaches. As you design your poster, provide enough background on both the topic and the methods to convey the purpose, findings, and implications of your research to the expected range of readers.

Telling a Simple, Clear Story

Write so your audience can understand why your work is of interest to them, providing them with a clear take-home message that they can grasp in the few minutes they will spend at your poster. Experts in communications and poster design recommend planning your poster around two to three key points that you want your audience to walk away with, then designing the title, charts, and text to emphasize those points ( Briscoe 1996 ; Nelson et al. 2002 ; Beilenson 2004 ). Start by introducing the two or three key questions you have decided will be the focus of your poster, and then provide a brief overview of data and methods before presenting the evidence to answer those questions. Close with a summary of your findings and their implications for research and policy.

A 2001 survey of government policymakers showed that they prefer summaries of research to be written so they can immediately see how the findings relate to issues currently facing their constituencies, without wading through a formal research paper ( Sorian and Baugh 2002 ). Complaints that surfaced about many research reports included that they were “too long, dense, or detailed,” or “too theoretical, technical, or jargony.” On average, respondents said they read only about a quarter of the research material they receive for detail, skim about half of it, and never get to the rest.

To ensure that your poster is one viewers will read, understand, and remember, present your analyses to match the issues and questions of concern to them, rather than making readers translate your statistical results to fit their interests ( DiFranza and the Staff of the Advocacy Institute 1996 ; Nelson et al. 2002 ). Often, their questions will affect how you code your data, specify your model, or design your intervention and evaluation, so plan ahead by familiarizing yourself with your audience's interests and likely applications of your study findings. In an academic journal article, you might report parameter estimates and standard errors for each independent variable in your regression model. In the poster version, emphasize findings for specific program design features, demographic, or geographic groups, using straightforward means of presenting effect size and statistical significance; see “Describing Numeric Patterns and Contrasts” and “Presenting Statistical Test Results” below.

The following sections offer guidelines on how to present statistical findings on posters, accompanied by examples of “poor” and “better” descriptions—samples of ineffective writing annotated to point out weaknesses, accompanied by concrete examples and explanations of improved presentation. These ideas are illustrated with results from a multilevel analysis of disenrollment from the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP; Phillips et al. 2004 ). I chose that paper to show how to prepare a poster about a sophisticated quantitative analysis of a topic of interest to HSR readers, and because I was a collaborator in that study, which was presented in the three formats compared here—as a paper, a speech, and a poster.

Explaining Statistical Methods

Beilenson (2004) and Briscoe (1996) suggest keeping your description of data and methods brief, providing enough information for viewers to follow the story line and evaluate your approach. Avoid cluttering the poster with too much technical detail or obscuring key findings with excessive jargon. For readers interested in additional methodological information, provide a handout and a citation to the pertinent research paper.

As you write about statistical methods or other technical issues, relate them to the specific concepts you study. Provide synonyms for technical and statistical terminology, remembering that many conferences of interest to policy researchers draw people from a range of disciplines. Even with a quantitatively sophisticated audience, don't assume that people will know the equivalent vocabulary used in other fields. A few years ago, the journal Medical Care published an article whose sole purpose was to compare statistical terminology across various disciplines involved in health services research so that people could understand one another ( Maciejewski et al. 2002 ). After you define the term you plan to use, mention the synonyms from the various fields represented in your audience.

Consider whether acronyms are necessary on your poster. Avoid them if they are not familiar to the field or would be used only once or twice on your poster. If you use acronyms, spell them out at first usage, even those that are common in health services research such as “HEDIS®”(Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set) or “HLM”(hierarchical linear model).

Poor: “We use logistic regression and a discrete-time hazards specification to assess relative hazards of SCHIP disenrollment, with plan level as our key independent variable.” Comment: Terms like “discrete-time hazards specification” may be confusing to readers without training in those methods, which are relatively new on the scene. Also the meaning of “SCHIP” or “plan level” may be unfamiliar to some readers unless defined earlier on the poster.

Better: “Chances of disenrollment from the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) vary by amount of time enrolled, so we used hazards models (also known as event history analysis or survival analysis) to correct for those differences when estimating disenrollment patterns for SCHIP plans for different income levels.” Comment: This version clarifies the terms and concepts, naming the statistical method and its synonyms, and providing a sense of why this type of analysis is needed.

To explain a statistical method or assumption, paraphrase technical terms and illustrate how the analytic approach applies to your particular research question and data:

Poor : “The data structure can be formulated as a two-level hierarchical linear model, with families (the level-1 unit of analysis) nested within counties (the level-2 unit of analysis).” Comment: Although this description would be fine for readers used to working with this type of statistical model, those who aren't conversant with those methods may be confused by terminology such as “level-1” and “unit of analysis.”

Better: “The data have a hierarchical (or multilevel) structure, with families clustered within counties.” Comment: By replacing “nested” with the more familiar “clustered,” identifying the specific concepts for the two levels of analysis, and mentioning that “hierarchical” and “multilevel” refer to the same type of analytic structure, this description relates the generic class of statistical model to this particular study.

Presenting Results with Charts

Charts are often the preferred way to convey numeric patterns, quickly revealing the relative sizes of groups, comparative levels of some outcome, or directions of trends ( Briscoe 1996 ; Tufte 2001 ; Nelson et al. 2002 ). As Beilenson puts it, “let your figures do the talking,” reducing the need for long text descriptions or complex tables with lots of tiny numbers. For example, create a pie chart to present sample composition, use a simple bar chart to show how the dependent variable varies across subgroups, or use line charts or clustered bar charts to illustrate the net effects of nonlinear specifications or interactions among independent variables ( Miller 2005 ). Charts that include confidence intervals around point estimates are a quick and effective way to present effect size, direction, and statistical significance. For multivariate analyses, consider presenting only the results for the main variables of interest, listing the other variables in the model in a footnote and including complex statistical tables in a handout.

Provide each chart with a title (in large type) that explains the topic of that chart. A rhetorical question or summary of the main finding can be very effective. Accompany each chart with a few annotations that succinctly describe the patterns in that chart. Although each chart page should be self-explanatory, be judicious: Tufte (2001) cautions against encumbering your charts with too much “nondata ink”—excessive labeling or superfluous features such as arrows and labels on individual data points. Strive for a balance between guiding your readers through the findings and maintaining a clean, uncluttered poster. Use chart types that are familiar to your expected audience. Finally, remember that you can flesh out descriptions of charts and tables in your script rather than including all the details on the poster itself; see “Narrative to Accompany a Poster.”

Describing Numeric Patterns and Contrasts

As you describe patterns or numeric contrasts, whether from simple calculations or complex statistical models, explain both the direction and magnitude of the association. Incorporate the concepts under study and the units of measurement rather than simply reporting coefficients (β's) ( Friedman 1990 ; Miller 2005 ).

Poor: “Number of enrolled children in the family is correlated with disenrollment.” Comment: Neither the direction nor the size of the association is apparent.

Poor [version #2]: “The log-hazard of disenrollment for one-child families was 0.316.” Comment: Most readers find it easier to assess the size and direction from hazards ratios (a form of relative risk) instead of log-hazards (log-relative risks, the β's from a hazards model).

Better: “Families with only one child enrolled in the program were about 1.4 times as likely as larger families to disenroll.” Comment: This version explains the association between number of children and disenrollment without requiring viewers to exponentiate the log-hazard in their heads to assess the size and direction of that association. It also explicitly identifies the group against which one-child families are compared in the model.

Presenting Statistical Test Results

On your poster, use an approach to presenting statistical significance that keeps the focus on your results, not on the arithmetic needed to conduct inferential statistical tests. Replace standard errors or test statistics with confidence intervals, p- values, or symbols, or use formatting such as boldface, italics, or a contrasting color to denote statistically significant findings ( Davis 1997 ; Miller 2005 ). Include the detailed statistical results in handouts for later perusal.

To illustrate these recommendations, Figures 1 and ​ and2 2 demonstrate how to divide results from a complex, multilevel model across several poster pages, using charts and bullets in lieu of the detailed statistical table from the scientific paper ( Table 1 ; Phillips et al. 2004 ). Following experts' advice to focus on one or two key points, these charts emphasize the findings from the final model (Model 5) rather than also discussing each of the fixed- and random-effects specifications from the paper.

Multilevel Discrete-Time Hazards Models of Disenrollment from SCHIP, New Jersey, January 1998–April 2000

Source : Phillips et al. (2004) .

SCHIP, State Children's Health Insurance Program; LRH, log relative-hazard; SE, standard error.

Figure 1 uses a chart (also from the paper) to present the net effects of a complicated set of interactions between two family-level traits (race and SCHIP plan) and a cross-level interaction between race of the family and county physician racial composition. The title is a rhetorical question that identifies the issue addressed in the chart, and the annotations explain the pattern. The chart version substantially reduces the amount of time viewers need to understand the main take-home point, averting the need to mentally sum and exponentiate several coefficients from the table.

Figure 2 uses bulleted text to summarize other key results from the model, translating log-relative hazards into hazards ratios and interpreting them with minimal reliance on jargon. The results for family race, SCHIP plan, and county physician racial composition are not repeated in Figure 2 , averting the common problem of interpreting main effect coefficients and interaction coefficients without reference to one another.

Alternatively, replace the text summary shown in Figure 2 with Table 2 —a simplified version of Table 1 which presents only the results for Model 5, replaces log-relative hazards with hazards ratios, reports associated confidence intervals in lieu of standard errors, and uses boldface to denote statistical significance. (On a color slide, use a contrasting color in lieu of bold.)

CONTENTS AND ORGANIZATION OF A POSTER

Research posters are organized like scientific papers, with separate pages devoted to the objectives and background, data and methods, results, and conclusions ( Briscoe 1996 ). Readers view the posters at their own pace and at close range; thus you can include more detail than in slides for a speech (see Appendix A for a detailed comparison of content and format of papers, speeches, and posters). Don't simply post pages from the scientific paper, which are far too text-heavy for a poster. Adapt them, replacing long paragraphs and complex tables with bulleted text, charts, and simple tables ( Briscoe 1996 ; Beilenson 2004 ). Fink (1995) provides useful guidelines for writing text bullets to convey research results. Use presentation software such as PowerPoint to create your pages or adapt them from related slides, facilitating good page layout with generous type size, bullets, and page titles. Such software also makes it easy to create matching handouts (see “Handouts”).

The “W's” (who, what, when, where, why) are an effective way to organize the elements of a poster.

• In the introductory section, describe what you are studying, why it is important, and how your analysis will add to the existing literature in the field.
• In the data and methods section of a statistical analysis, list when, where, who, and how the data were collected, how many cases were involved, and how the data were analyzed. For other types of interventions or program evaluations, list who, when, where, and how many, along with how the project was implemented and assessed.
• In the results section, present what you found.
• In the conclusion, return to what you found and how it can be used to inform programs or policies related to the issue.

Number and Layout of Pages

To determine how many pages you have to work with, find out the dimensions of your assigned space. A 4′ × 8′ bulletin board accommodates the equivalent of about twenty 8.5″ × 11″ pages, but be selective—no poster can capture the full detail of a large series of multivariate models. A trifold presentation board (3′ high by 4′ wide) will hold roughly a dozen pages, organized into three panels ( Appendix B ). Breaking the arrangement into vertical sections allows viewers to read each section standing in one place while following the conventions of reading left-to-right and top-to-bottom ( Briscoe 1996 ).

• At the top of the poster, put an informative title in a large, readable type size. On a 4′ × 8′ bulletin board, there should also be room for an institutional logo.

Suggested Layout for a 4′ × 8′ poster.

• In the left-hand panel, set the stage for the research question, conveying why the topic is of policy interest, summarizing major empirical or theoretical work on related topics, and stating your hypotheses or project aims, and explaining how your work fills in gaps in previous analyses.
• In the middle panel, briefly describe your data source, variables, and methods, then present results in tables or charts accompanied by text annotations. Diagrams, maps, and photographs are very effective for conveying issues difficult to capture succinctly in words ( Miller 2005 ), and to help readers envision the context. A schematic diagram of relationships among variables can be useful for illustrating causal order. Likewise, a diagram can be a succinct way to convey timing of different components of a longitudinal study or the nested structure of a multilevel dataset.
• In the right-hand panel, summarize your findings and relate them back to the research question or project aims, discuss strengths and limitations of your approach, identify research, practice, or policy implications, and suggest directions for future research.

Figure 3 (adapted from Beilenson 2004 ) shows a suggested layout for a 4′ × 8′ bulletin board, designed to be created using software such as Pagemaker that generates a single-sheet presentation; Appendix C shows a complete poster version of the Phillips et al. (2004) multilevel analysis of SCHIP disenrollment. If hardware or budget constraints preclude making a single-sheet poster, a similar configuration can be created using standard 8.5″ × 11″ pages in place of the individual tables, charts, or blocks of text shown in Figure 3 .

Find out well in advance how the posters are to be mounted so you can bring the appropriate supplies. If the room is set up for table-top presentations, tri-fold poster boards are essential because you won't have anything to attach a flat poster board or pages to. If you have been assigned a bulletin board, bring push-pins or a staple gun.

Regardless of whether you will be mounting your poster at the conference or ahead of time, plan how the pages are to be arranged. Experiment with different page arrangements on a table marked with the dimensions of your overall poster. Once you have a final layout, number the backs of the pages or draw a rough sketch to work from as you arrange the pages on the board. If you must pin pages to a bulletin board at the conference venue, allow ample time to make them level and evenly spaced.

Other Design Considerations

A few other issues to keep in mind as you design your poster. Write a short, specific title that fits in large type size on the title banner of your poster. The title will be potential readers' first glimpse of your poster, so make it inviting and easy to read from a distance—at least 40-point type, ideally larger. Beilenson (2004) advises embedding your key finding in the title so viewers don't have to dig through the abstract or concluding page to understand the purpose and conclusions of your work. A caution: If you report a numeric finding in your title, keep in mind that readers may latch onto it as a “factoid” to summarize your conclusions, so select and phrase it carefully ( McDonough 2000 ).

Use at least 14-point type for the body of the poster text. As Briscoe (1996) points out, “many in your audience have reached the bifocal age” and all of them will read your poster while standing, hence long paragraphs in small type will not be appreciated! Make judicious use of color. Use a clear, white, or pastel for the background, with black or another dark color for most text, and a bright, contrasting shade to emphasize key points or to identify statistically significant results ( Davis 1997 ).

NARRATIVE TO ACCOMPANY A POSTER

Prepare a brief oral synopsis of the purpose, findings, and implications of your work to say to interested parties as they pause to read your poster. Keep it short—a few sentences that highlight what you are studying, a couple of key findings, and why they are important. Design your overview as a “sound byte” that captures your main points in a succinct and compelling fashion ( Beilenson 2004 ). After hearing your introduction, listeners will either nod and move along or comment on some aspect of your work that intrigues them. You can then tailor additional discussion to individual listeners, adjusting the focus and amount of detail to suit their interests. Gesture at the relevant pages as you make each point, stating the purpose of each chart or table and explaining its layout before describing the numeric findings; see Miller (2005) for guidelines on how to explain tables and charts to a live audience. Briscoe (1996) points out that these mini-scripts are opportunities for you to fill in details of your story line, allowing you to keep the pages themselves simple and uncluttered.

Prepare short answers to likely questions about various aspects of your work, such as why it is important from a policy or research perspective, or descriptions of data, methods, and specific results. Think of these as little modules from an overall speech—concise descriptions of particular elements of your study that you can choose among in response to questions that arise. Beilenson (2004) also recommends developing a few questions to ask your viewers, inquiring about their reactions to your findings, ideas for additional questions, or names of others working on the topic.

Practice your poster presentation in front of a test audience acquainted with the interests and statistical proficiency of your expected viewers. Ideally, your critic should not be too familiar with your work: A fresh set of eyes and ears is more likely to identify potential points of confusion than someone who is jaded from working closely with the material while writing the paper or drafting the poster ( Beilenson 2004 ). Ask your reviewer to identify elements that are unclear, flag jargon to be paraphrased or defined, and recommend changes to improve clarity ( Miller 2005 ). Have them critique your oral presentation as well as the contents and layout of the poster.

Prepare handouts to distribute to interested viewers. These can be produced from slides created in presentation software, printed several to a page along with a cover page containing the abstract and your contact information. Or package an executive summary or abstract with a few key tables or charts. Handouts provide access to the more detailed literature review, data and methods, full set of results, and citations without requiring viewers to read all of that information from the poster ( Beilenson 2004 ; Miller 2005 ). Although you also can bring copies of the complete paper, it is easier on both you and your viewers if you collect business cards or addresses and mail the paper later.

The quality and effectiveness of research posters at professional conferences is often compromised by authors' failure to take into account the unique nature of such presentations. One common error is posting numerous statistical tables and long paragraphs from a research paper—an approach that overwhelms viewers with too much detail for this type of format and presumes familiarity with advanced statistical techniques. Following recommendations from the literature on research communication and poster design, this paper shows how to focus each poster on a few key points, using charts and text bullets to convey results as part of a clear, straightforward story line, and supplementing with handouts and an oral overview.

Another frequent mistake is treating posters as a one-way means of communication. Unlike published papers, poster sessions are live presentations; unlike speeches, they allow for extended conversation with viewers. This note explains how to create an oral synopsis of the project, short modular descriptions of poster elements, and questions to encourage dialog. By following these guidelines, researchers can substantially improve their conference posters as vehicles to disseminate findings to varied research and policy audiences.

I hope you enjoy reading this blog post.

If you want my team to help you with your Research, click here.

Welcome to this blog post on creating a scientific or medical research poster presentation! In this post, we will walk you through the steps of creating a visually appealing and informative presentation that effectively communicates your research findings. Your poster is a visual representation of your research. Creating a scientific research poster presentation can be a great way to share your research with a larger audience. Whether you are presenting at a conference, a poster session, or an academic event, a well-designed poster can effectively communicate your findings and generate interest in your work.

Step 1: Identify your audience and purpose

Before you begin creating your poster, it’s important to identify your audience and purpose. Are you presenting to a group of peers at a conference, or are you presenting to a general audience at a public event? Understanding your audience will help you tailor your language and content to be more accessible and relevant. For example, if you are presenting to a general audience at a public event, you may want to use simpler language and avoid technical terms. On the other hand, if you are presenting to a group of peers at a conference, you can use more technical language and delve deeper into the details of your research.

Step 2: Layout & Design

The layout and design of your poster are crucial to its success. A research poster should be visually appealing, with a clear and organized structure that guides the viewer through the content. There are many ways to structure a scientific research poster, but a common approach is to use headings and subheadings to break up the content and make it easy to follow. You can also use visual aids, such as graphs, charts, and images, to help convey your message.

You can find some free poster templates online to help you visualize your layout. When it comes to the layout of your poster, there are a few different options to consider. One popular layout is the “grid” layout, which divides the poster into a series of evenly spaced columns and rows. This layout is great for organizing your content and making it easy to follow.

Any figure can be substituted for text

Another option is the “flow” layout, which arranges the content in a more free-form way. This layout can be a bit more creative, but it’s important to make sure the content is still easy to follow and understand.

Research Advising

• The size of the poster: Make sure the size of your poster is appropriate for the event and venue. Most scientific research posters are around 3 feet wide by 4 feet tall but check with the event organizers to confirm the size requirements. These can easily be achieve using the PowerPoint software.
• The font size and style: Choose a font size that is large enough to be easily readable from a distance. A good rule of thumb is to use a font size of at least 18-24 points for the main headings and 14-18 points for the subheadings and body text. Avoid using too many different font styles, as it can be confusing for the reader.

Figure 3 A: Bad Font

Figure 3 B: Good Font

• The color scheme: Use a limited color palette to create a cohesive and visually appealing poster. Choose colors that complement each other and enhance the readability of the text. Avoid using too many bright or bold colors, as they can be overwhelming and distract from the content. Most academic institutions have a poster template that you can use to build your poster. These templates usually include the institution’s logo and color scheme.

Figure 4 A: Bad Colors

Figure 4 B: Good Colors

• The placement of text and graphics: Use a logical and easy-to-follow layout to guide the reader through your poster. Place the main headings at the top of the poster and use subheadings and bullet points to break up the content into manageable sections. Use images, graphs, and charts to illustrate key points and enhance the visual appeal of your poster. A research poser should be a visual expansion of your abstract, focusing on ways to visually present the information you are describing. Text should be kept to a minimum, with around 500 words across the poster.

Statistics + Research course

Step 3: create the content.

Once you’ve chosen a layout and design for your poster, it’s time to start creating the content. When it comes to the content of your poster, it’s important to focus on the main points of your research. Begin by introducing the topic and providing some background information to set the stage for your research.

Start by choosing a clear and concise title for your poster. The title should accurately describe the main topic of your research and grab the attention of your audience. It should be short and to the point, ideally no more than a few words. Consider using a title that poses a question or highlights a key finding of your research.

Next, outline your research question or hypothesis and explain the methods you used to gather data. Be sure to include any relevant results and conclusions, as well as any limitations or future directions for your research.

• This section is targeted at intelligent readers in your field. The information should be short focus on why you decided to perform this research, given the current state of affairs in your field. This section should also introduce what you aim to gain from this research. The object of your project is key item of this section. You may choose to include a figure in this section, instead of text, that can visually present the background of this project. The purpose of the study can subsequently
• Here, you need to shortly present how your research was conducted and how the analysis was carried out. This is another opportunity to attract the audience visually. A good flow chart can effectively present your methods without typing out any sentences on your poster. Make sure to include any relevant details, such as the sample size, data collection methods, and statistical analyses.
• It’s time for your poster to shine. This where your visual presentation can truly be showcased. Approximately 3-4 figures consisting of graphs, tables, and charts should be used here. In addition to visual aids, you should have one or two sentences that highlight the main findings of your study. This section is the largest part of your poster. When an onlooker passes the display, your results section should draw them in
• Here we can summarize the entirety of the study. The conclusion sections should consist of no more than 200 words. This section will emphasize the key points that the reader should go take with them.
• Finally, you may include a section on future work or implications for further research. This can be a great opportunity to discuss the potential applications of your research and suggest avenues for future investigation.

Step 4: Add graphics and charts

In addition to the text, be sure to include graphics and charts to help illustrate your findings. These can be bar graphs, pie charts, or other types of visual data representations that make it easier for the viewer to understand your research.

Visual aids, such as graphs, charts, and images, can be a great way to supplement your text and help convey complex ideas more effectively. Choose visual aids that are relevant and informative, and make sure they are labeled clearly.

When creating graphics and charts, it’s important to choose a clear and concise visual representation of your data. Avoid using too many different types of charts or graphics, as this can be confusing for the viewer. Instead, focus on using a few key charts or graphics that effectively communicate your research findings.

Step 5: Optional sections

Generally, posters don’t need a reference section because this is a short highlight of data that is purely your own. However, sometimes your background/introduction may reference specific studies or you may have used figures that are not original. In these cases, you should include short references section at the end of your poster. It is important to properly cite the sources you used in your research and to give credit to the work of others. Use a consistent citation style, such as APA or MLA, and be sure to include all necessary bibliographic information

This is a completely optional section. However, I highly recommend it. Many times, the posters will be available for viewing without your presence. In such cases, you must provide an opportunity for them to be able to contact you in the future if they wish to discuss your research. The first and easiest option is including your professional email (can be academic but doesn’t have to be). Another option that has recently gained popularity is the inclusion of a QR code. This personally designed QR code can direct the viewer to any professional page that you may design (Social-Media, Email, ResearchGate, etc.).

Step 6: Review

Before you print or submit your poster, make sure to review and proofread it carefully. Look for typos, grammatical errors, and factual mistakes, and correct them as needed. Ask a friend or colleague to review your poster as well, as they may catch mistakes that you missed.

Research Course

Step 7: practice and rehearse.

Practice your presentation. Make sure you know what you want to say and how you want to say it. Practice in front of a mirror or with a friend to get comfortable with the material. Consider using props, such as handouts or physical models, to help illustrate your points.

When practicing your presentation, consider the following:

• Keep it brief: A scientific research poster presentation is typically only a few minutes long, so make sure you can convey the main points of your research in a short amount of time.
• Use clear and concise language: Avoid using technical jargon or complex terms that may be unfamiliar to your audience. Instead, use clear and concise language that is easy to understand.
• Engage with your audience: A poster presentation is a great opportunity to interact with others and discuss your research. Be prepared to answer questions and engage in discussions with your audience.

Step 8: Bring copies and relevant materials

Once you have completed your poster, it is time to print and assemble it. Make sure to use high-quality paper and printing methods to ensure that your poster looks professional and visually appealing. There are a few different options for printing and assembling your poster, including:

• Printing at a print shop: Many print shops offer large format printing services, which can be a convenient and cost-effective option for printing your poster.
• Printing at home: If you have a high-quality printer and paper, you may be able to print your poster at home. Just be sure to check that your printer is capable of handling the size and quality of your poster.
• Assembling a digital poster: Instead of printing a physical poster, you can create a digital poster using a presentation software, such as PowerPoint or Google Slides. This can be a convenient and eco-friendly option, as you can simply bring a laptop or tablet to the event and present your poster digitally. However, conferences might only allow the print option without digital display options.

Once your poster is printed, you will need to assemble it. Depending on the size and material of your poster, you may need to use foam board, mounting adhesive, or other materials to mount your poster onto a backing board.

Finally, it is time to transport and display your poster at the event. Make sure to handle your poster carefully to avoid any damage and consider using a poster tube or other protective case to transport. When setting up your poster at the event, make sure to follow any instructions or guidelines provided by the event organizers. Consider the lighting and positioning of your poster and try to position it in a location that is easy to see and access.

Step 9: Presenting your poster:

Some conferences have dedicated poster sessions where each researcher can give a quick presentation of their poster. However, this is not always available. Most of the time, you stand in front of your poster and present it to anyone that passes by and chooses to discuss your research with you. A poster presentation should be a 2-3 minute “elevator pitch” of your work. This little speech should be memorized cold, and you should be able to present it to anyone that asks.

General Tips for success

Here are a few additional tips to help ensure the success of your research poster presentation:

• Choose a font that is easy to read from a distance. Sans-serif fonts like Arial or Helvetica are generally more legible than serif fonts like Times New Roman.
• Use a consistent layout throughout the poster. This helps the viewer know what to expect and makes it easier to follow the content.
• Print your poster at the appropriate size. Most conference organizers will specify the size of the poster, so be sure to follow their guidelines.
• Use high-quality images and graphics. Poor quality images or graphics can distract from the content of your poster and make it less effective.
• Don’t forget to proofread your poster for spelling and grammar errors. A poster with errors can be difficult to take seriously.
• First, keep the text concise and to the point. No one wants to read a novel on a poster, so be sure to keep your language clear and focused.
• Use images and graphics to illustrate your points. These can be more effective than text in some cases, and they help break up the poster and make it more visually appealing. When choosing images, be sure to select high-quality images that are relevant to your research.
• Use headings and bullet points to help organize and structure your content. This will make it easier for the viewer to understand and follow your research.
• Use plenty of white space to make your poster more visually appealing and easier to read. White space is the area around the text and graphics on your poster, and it plays an important role in the readability and overall aesthetic of your poster. Avoid overcrowding the poster with too much text or graphics and use plenty of white space to break up the content and make it easier for the reader to take in the information.

A newly popular new method of presented research has also been developed. The “Better Poster” approach developed by Mike Morrison, PhD, is a method for creating effective and engaging research posters. The approach emphasizes the use of clear and concise language, a consistent layout, and effective use of visuals to communicate research findings.

One of the key features of the Better Poster approach is its simplicity. By avoiding technical jargon and using a simple design, the poster is more accessible to a wider audience. The approach also highlights the importance of highlighting key findings, which ensures that viewers can quickly understand the most important information.

Another important feature of the Better Poster approach is its emphasis on the use of visuals. Charts, diagrams, and images are used to supplement the text and make the poster more engaging. The use of visuals also helps to break up the text and make the poster more visually appealing.

In conclusion, creating a research poster can be a daunting task, but by following the tips outlined in this blog post, you can create a visually appealing and informative poster that effectively communicates your research findings. From outlining your content and selecting the right layout, to choosing the right colors and typography, the key is to keep your audience in mind and strive for simplicity and clarity. The author of this blog post is Tomer Lagziel, a fourth-year medical student at the Sackler School of Medicine, New-York Program and a clinical research fellow in the Johns Hopkins Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He has over 30 publications and even more poster and podium presentation at some of the most prestigious scientific surgical conferences.

Colors can be used in many different ways, like providing therapy. Color therapy is an alternative medicine that uses colors as an aid for treating diseases and is even recognized as a treatment for mental illness. Before designing your poster relevant to mental health, learn which colors are appropriate and suited to your concept. Explore Venngage’s wide selection of ready-to-use  color palettes  or create your own.

3 Global health issues [pandemic] poster examples

The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the world.

The challenge for healthcare workers hasn’t just been mitigating transmission and treating patients, but also influencing preventive efforts on a global scale.

Without an effective poster or infographics, people wouldn’t be well-informed about the virus and how to protect themselves against it.

COVID-19 healthcare study poster example

A poster like the one below could be shared to engage practitioners and patients in conversation about the pandemic.

Add more details to it such as research from a peer-reviewed journal or medical experts to make the poster and study session more impactful.

3 Dental hygiene poster examples

A beautiful smile and a healthy mouth are undeniably two of the greatest assets that a person can have.

Our teeth play a huge part in our everyday activities such as chewing, digesting food, and talking.

The need to establish a good oral care routine is very important.

Dental education poster example

However, visits to the dentist can be challenging. The best way to circumvent this anxiety is to create a poster that shares the health benefits of a good dental routine.

To amplify awareness and knowledge about proper oral hygiene, posters could be utilized as educational material.

Dental medical pamphlet example

Educational posters have significantly improved the level of literacy of people about health-related matters, including dental health.

Dentists can use this research to advertise their services and attract a larger clientele using a poster like the one below.

Research has shown that healthcare personnel’s communication skills help patients better follow through with the medical recommendations provided.

Relying solely on your body’s natural defenses, and daily brushing and flossing of teeth aren’t enough to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

This poster helps break down the various ways patients can keep their teeth healthy so they don’t need to visit the dentist too often.

Every element that is incorporated in a template’s design, even the font used for the brief text in your output, has an impact on the impression that a poster makes. Just like the templates above, you can play with the  font styles  and size to create a more impactful and engaging poster. Apply bold headings so as to break the content up into smaller sections. The Venngage editor has a plethora of font styles to choose from to make the poster uniquely your own.

Colorful infographic poster example

As many novel diseases come to challenge the human race, threats brought about by poor habits impact people’s health.

Invoke the same calming feeling one gets from doing yoga with a template that’s relaxing to the eyes. Use an appropriate color scheme and photo set that relates to the yoga event. Add smaller photo insets to the template to accentuate the full-size photo for the poster background .

What are the benefits of medical posters?

Here’s an overview of the benefits of medical posters by category:

• Healthcare : In healthcare, medical posters drive effective patient-doctor communication and help promote preventative care and adherence to treatment.
• Patients : For patients, medical posters provide clear, accessible information about health conditions and treatments that help them to make informed decisions about their health.
• Medical professionals: Medical posters allow healthcare professionals to communicate information more effectively during consultations to ensure compliance.
• Communication: Overall, medical posters facilitate clear and effective dialogue between healthcare professionals and patients, enhancing understanding and engagement

Create a medical poster that educates patients about their health practices

Ensuring the safety of patients and equipping them with knowledge on proper healthcare are the top reasons for creating effective healthcare communication structures.

Healthcare facilities and organizations should have a medical poster for each of their primary areas of concern. This will guide patients and the general public toward a healthier life.

With a professionally designed poster template and infographics, medical professionals can create compelling and effective visual aids for all their communication needs.

Symposium Day: Thursday, March 7, 2024

Poster Design:

Upon abstract acceptance, all posters must be uploaded and recorded on VoiceThread by Feb. 15, 2024. All posters that are narrated on VoiceThread by the deadline will be officially listed in the Symposium Compendium and can be included in your CV. Posters that are not uploaded on VoiceThread cannot be listed on your CV.

Recordings on VoiceThread will undergo a first round of scoring by judges. The top posters in each category (final number depends on the total amount of posters per category) will be invited to present their work in-person in Rayzor Lounge on Thursday, March 7, 2024.

During the in-person presentations on Symposium Day, there will be a second round of judging (independent of the prior scoring of the recording on VoiceThread). The top scoring posters of the in-person presentations on Symposium Day will be awarded the Henry J.N. Taub Young Investigator Awards.
