Whether in the top-right corner, centered at the top or elsewhere, the abstract should be easily locatable. The goal is to ensure it is one of the first elements viewers see.
How are references cited on a medical poster?
References are usually cited at the bottom of the poster. They should be minimal due to space limitations, focusing on the most seminal or directly related works.
During a conference poster session, is a pre-submitted abstract necessary?
Pre-submitted abstracts are often a requirement for congresses. The details for the same are generally provided in the call for abstracts document released by the conference organizers.
Is there a way to track the impact or reach of our poster after the congress?
It's usually challenging to track direct impacts post-congress. However, audience engagement during the session, requests for your data, follow-on communications, collaboration offers, and citation counts can indicate impact.
What kind of paper material is best suited for printing a medical poster?
Resilient materials that can handle transportation without damage are ideal. Polyester fabric posters are becoming popular. If budget allows, foam-core mounting provides a professional look.
How do you ensure the scientific accuracy of a medical poster?
Authors should strictly adhere to research integrity principles and ensure that all reported data are accurate. Mistakes should be corrected promptly, following up with the conference if necessary.

Using QR codes can be helpful to provide a link to more detailed information, documents, or resources. Always confirm that the congress allows QR codes on posters.
Does an industry poster carry the same weight as an academic one at a congress?
An industry-funded research poster could be equally valued at a congress if the science is sound, the design is professional, and it provides novel insights or furthers understanding.
Are there size restrictions for the text when writing a medical poster?
Text size should be large enough to be read from around 1-2 meters away. Generally, headings should be around 48-60 pt. Size 24-28 pt can work for main text.
How can we ensure representational equality in a medical poster?
Representational equality involves diversity of research participants, gender and race balance in authors, and ensuring the poster is accessible to an international, potentially multilingual audience.
What would make an academic abstract effective for a poster?
A poster abstract becomes effective when it condenses job of your poster into about 200-300 words, engages reader’s interest and provides a clear, concise summary of your research.
How critical is the role of a medical writer in creating a medical poster?
A medical writer ensures a smooth narrative, clear messaging, compliant content, and error-free language. These competencies are crucial in communicating effectively, so their role is vital.
Can we use the same poster in multiple congresses or does it need to be unique each time?
It's allowable to use the same poster for different congresses, though updating data or tailoring it to the specific audience or theme of each congress can make the presentation more impactful.
What are some examples of innovative visuals that can be incorporated into a medical poster?
Innovative visuals could include interactive infographics, artistically represented data, use of augmented reality elements, QR codes linking to 3D models or videos, and other digitally-enhanced content.
Do medical posters include a summary or abstract?
Yes. Similar to a manuscript, a medical poster usually includes an abstract - a short summary that provides an overview of the research.
How can we maintain patient privacy and confidentiality in a medical poster?
Avoid depicting identifiable patient images and anonymise all patient data. If citing patient conversations, ensure no identifiers are included. It's always best to gain patient consent before using personal data in your poster.
What exactly is a poster abstract and its importance?
A poster abstract is the synopsis of your research designed to attract audience interest in your work. Essentially, it determines whether the congress attendees will stop by your poster.
Does presenting a poster abstract count as a publication?
Conventionally, a poster abstract is considered a form of scholarly presentation rather than a full-fledged publication.
Can the content of a scientific abstract be translated into a nursing poster presentation?
Absolutely. The key is to translate the research so it's relevant and understandable to nursing professionals, focusing on patient benefits and nursing implications, while maintaining the scientific rigor.
Is there any guidance for creating virtual or digital posters?
Ensure the poster is in a web-friendly format. Consider using text and visuals which work well on screen. You might use hover-over effects, embedded links, videos, or interactive graphs.
Which colour schemes are most effective for visibility and legibility in a busy congress environment?
Colours should be used sparingly and strategically to highlight key parts but not overwhelm. Contrasting colours enhance legibility. The background colour should be light with dark letters.
What does a well-structured poster abstract look like?
A well-structured poster abstract should be concise, clearly defined, free from jargon, and arranged into logical segments: Background/Purpose, Methods, Results, Conclusion.
How do you recommend dealing with trade secrets or sensitive information in a poster?
Any trade secrets or confidential data should be omitted or anonymised. Mandalory approval should be sought before including any such data. Be cautious not to infringe on any non-disclosure agreements.
