Online Posters Posters are widely used at scientific meetings to present short pieces of work. However, posters have some features which make them more suitable for web publication than conventional scientific papers.
Posters are visual.
Posters are short, concise and focussed with a few key messages. This is good beacuse something about the web reduces attention spans in users. Posters are more flexible in format and language than papers. Greater use can be made of bulleted lists, flow charts, and other ways to present and summarize arguments than prose.
