CONCLUSIONS
This template has been modified for the Auraria campus from a template by the Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences.
Writing Style:
The writing style for scientific posters should match the guidelines for the university. References should be prepared in the style requirements for the department and discipline.
Printing and Laminating:
Posters can be printed on campus, through online printing services, and locally. Some departments have large-format poster printers available: ask! For posters up to 24 inches wide on the shortest side, you can utilize the large- format, low-cost printer at the Creative Technology Commons in the Auraria Library Room 129. Ricoh Copy Center in the Tivoli building, Speedpro, AlphaGraphics, and FedEx are a few of the local options which can print larger sizes.
Copyright and Intellectual Property Guidelines:
All creative material is copyrighted, whether it carries the copyright symbol © or not. Moreover, under today’s law, materials are protected by copyright as soon as they are completed. Copyright applies broadly to all creative pieces whether written on paper, sculpted in stone, found in cyberspace or created on videotape. Although the notion of “fair use” permits the use of copyright materials for educational purposes, funded research may be considered a commercial endeavour. Be attentive to your use of images, fonts, descriptions, and other materials to ensure you are not violating copyright restrictions.
Authors should re-write their paper so that it is suitable for the brevity of the poster format. Respect your audience.
As a general rule, less is more. Use a generous amount of white space to separate elements and avoid data overkill. Refer to Web sites or other sources to provide a more in- depth understanding of the research.
