Research Findings Presentation Techniques

Study Notes

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.
