Explain how to present research in a poster format. Include at least 5 guidelines to prepare an ideal poster.

What will be an ideal response?

A well-designed poster can provide much of the key information that would otherwise appear in a paper or presentation, while the poster session format can allow meeting participants to question presenters at length about their work and perhaps exchange information about their own or just consider the findings from a distance. Guidelines: Completely fill the poster, avoiding clutter or overwhelming appearance; no more than 15 lines per page; use bullets, but brief, on one point only, and not too many in one list; use a font large enough for reading 3–6 feet away; graphs and visuals usually better than plain text; use software designed to create posters; ensure a customary flow, using top left to bottom right and numbered sections; place most important or eye-catching information (usually results) in the center.
