Research Findings Presentation Techniques

Types of Contributions for Research Findings

• Abstracts summarize research succinctly, offering a brief overview of the purpose, methods, results, and conclusions.
• Oral presentations allow researchers to verbally communicate their findings, often complemented by visual aids.

Scientific Posters

• A research poster visually communicates research results and serves as a conversation starter at conferences.
• Effective posters utilize visual logic with a hierarchical structure, emphasizing key points for clarity and engagement.
• Posters are typically exhibited during special conference sessions, facilitating direct interaction between attendees and authors.

Components of a Good Poster

• Key components include:
  • Title, Author(s), and Center(s)
  • Introduction, Hypothesis, and Objective
  • Methodology (detailed materials and methods)
  • Results section showcasing findings
  • Conclusions summarizing the implications and significance of the research

Focus Areas of a Poster

• Content: Clearly articulates the research objective, often encapsulating a study, experience, or specific project in a condensed format using text, tables, graphs, and images.
• Presentation: Emphasizes the delivery of the research, ensuring that the poster is visually appealing to attract viewers and encourage inquiries.

Interaction with the Audience

• Researchers are present by their posters, enabling attendees to engage directly, ask questions, and foster discussions about the research topic.
