ISC 3920 Scientific Process Term, Year Title Author ISC 3920 Scientific Process Term, Year Please keep the landscape orientation – it saves paper during the printing Heading should have the title of the project (NOT research objective), author’s name and degree program. If you include a faculty mentor, you must make sure the faculty member has a chance to review the poster content before it is printed. Background CANNOT be dark. We are trying to minimize the excessive use of ink. Consider white backgrounds where appropriate, or, if you use an image, please increase the brightness so it is subtle and uses less ink The source for images must be cited. This is most often done right under the image itself. If you took the image yourself simply say photo credit: yourname. Or provide the URL where you got it. Be sure to consider appropriate use of copyrighted material. Remember that a poster is a visual medium, attempt to simplify text – maybe with bulleted sentence fragments in place of complete sentences and paragraphs Do try to make your abstract a polished block of text. In some settings the abstracts are printed with the conference program, or you may choose to print off copies of abstract (with title author and contact information) to give to interested people. Text in the body of the poster should be no smaller than 20 font, 24 is probably more appropriate. Acknowledgements can be used to: recognize a faculty mentor; thank a helpful peer reviewer; or identify other people who have been resources for your proposal. ABSTRACT The abstract summarizes the entire proposal briefly. Make sure that you introduce your study, state your research objective, highlight your methods, and identify the significance of the study.
