Posters are widely used in the academic community. 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. It typically contains the same components as an academic paper, but modified for the different medium. This means: Less text, shorter sentences, bullets and graphics when possible, references section (even if small font)
