GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS

Guidelines for the Preparation & Presentation of Posters

An academic poster is a visual representation of your submitted research paper. Authors should aim to use the poster as a mean for generating active discussion of the research. Please note that the text and presentation of all posters should be in English only.

Design and layout

All posters should be in LANDSCAPE format and size: 3.10 feet (Length) X 2.10 feet (Height). One (01) inch border must be kept in all sides to fix the posters in supporting frames.
The top of the poster should display, in lettering not smaller than 2.5 cm in height, the following information (see Figure 01): Title of the Paper, Name(s) of the Author(s), Affiliation(s)
Whilst a poster is a visual tool it still needs to maintain a logical structure in order that a viewer can easily follow and understand your argument from start to finish. Consider including an introduction, methodology, results, discussion, conclusion and references.
The poster should be easily readable at a distance of two meters. Use upper and lower case for general content, as all-capital text is difficult to read. Avoid using mixtures of font styles.
