What is a Scientific Poster?
• It is a large representative poster that communicates your research outcomes to an audience.
• The poster should be well organized and concise enough for the viewer to read it in less than 10 minutes.

Creating a poster • Choose the correct software ▫ PowerPoint, InDesign, Illustrator, among others. ▫ PowerPoint is the most common used software
and there are many free templates available on the Internet.
• Poster dimensions and layouts ▫ Most conferences have predetermined dimensions
for the posters, as well as the orientation (portrait or landscape).
▫ Common dimensions for posters are 36” x 42”, 42” x 48”, 42” x 52”, among others.

Sequence • When creating a poster think of it as a story. • Every story needs a logical sequence. • Try going in columns from left to right and up to
down.
The Abstract is an exception that goes in line with the title.

Abstract
• The abstract should contain Background, Research Question and Results.
• Depending on the rules of the poster session you may or may not be asked to include this section on your poster.
• If you are to include it keep it brief and precise. • The abstract should be a very brief summary of
your investigation and the purpose of this investigation.

Introduction
• In this part you get your viewer interested in the question your research proposes.
• Place your issue in a context and then “pitch” an interesting hypothesis.
• Although hard to do, try to limit the text in this section. You do not want to overwhelm the reader.
• This is a wonderful section to add a couple of pictures to get the reader excited.

Materials and Methods
• Briefly describe experimental equipment and methods, but NOT in a very detailed manner.
• In this section you explained in a very concise way how you reached the conclusion of your research.
• It is optional to use graphs here, but they are usually reserved for the results section.

Results
• This will be the largest section of the poster. • In this section you will explain the results of
your hard work. • Start by mentioning whether the experiment
worked or not. (Should be the first paragraph) • After this, present the data analysis that
addresses the results of the research. • Use graphs and/or images to support your data
analysis.

whole poster. • Whenever possible, use lists rather than blocks
of sentences. • Keep your posters visual (Images say more than
words). • Use high resolution pictures that can be seen at a
fair distance.
