Preparing and presenting a poster
In line with the Postgraduate Showcase, we would like to share some posts on poster preparation and presentation in this edition of our COVID-19: Graduate School updates. We hope these aid to the final preparation for participants in the competition this year.
Make a poster – it may also help you to write a paper
In this blog post by Professor Pat Thomson from the School of Education, UoN UK, you can explore some advice and guidance about making academic posters.
“Making an academic poster is about clear and effective communication via a judicious choice of images, headings and texts. Posters also offer a chance to be a bit creative.“
How to design an award-winning scientific poster at your next conference
In this blog post on echorivera.com, Dr Echo Rivera shares some tips on designing poster.
“A good storyboard is like having a GPS when working on your presentation or poster. It helps you stay focused and keeps you from getting lost in your own data.“
How to prepare a presentation in 8 steps
In this video by Alex Lyon, a communication coach, you can learn more about how to prepare for a presentation in 8 key steps.
“95% of how a presentation turns out is determined by how you prepare!“
DSpace data-storage
A digital repository system for all researchers at UNM
As you are aware, the use of DSpace was recently launched by our Vice Provost for Research and Knowledge Exchange. At UNM, this service is open to all academic staff and postgraduate research students.
This repository is to be used for the following:
-
-
store research data set for public access upon publication of research articles
-
store research data only for private access
-
It should not be used to store private data, and is not a replacement for public cloud-drive or file-sharing services.
Should you have queries or face issue(s) upon using it, please direct your queries to library-researchsupport@nottingham.ac.uk for further assistance.
