• TITLE
• AUTHOR(S) & AFFILIATION(S)
• INTRODUCTION
• OBJECTIVES
• MATERIALS AND METHODS
• RESULTS
• DISCUSSION
• CONCLUSION
• ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (IF ANY)

E-POSTER INSTRUCTION

1. The texts and figures should be readable from at least 1 meter away.
2. All posters should be laid as portrait (16:9).
3. The title should be composed of CAPITAL letters.
4. Use the minimum amount of text possible. Only use what is necessary to make your point. Be concise, but answer the basic questions (What, When, Where, How, Why) using the standard format. Introduction (background, statement of problem, purpose/objectives), Methods (experimental design, techniques), Results (data summary, findings), and Conclusions (interpretations, implications) organize the material to tell a logical, coherent story.
5. Use large, BOLD lettering for readability. Use fonts that are easy to read (i.e., avoid fancy fonts).
6. Use borders or white space to separate sections. Avoid large, continuous blocks of text.
7. Use figures (graphs, charts and illustrations) (with captions) as much as possible, making sure that they are legible.
8. The use of color will enhance poster readability (i.e., for contrast and to highlight important points) and attractiveness. Aesthetics are an important part of preparing a poster that will attract attention.
9. Summarize results/findings. Bullets work well to summarize key points or contributions of the study.
