Posters are used in academia to promote and explain research work. They are typically shown during conferences, either as a complement to a talk or scientific paper, or as a publication. They are of lesser importance than actual articles, but they can be a good introduction to a new piece of research before the paper is published. Poster presentations are often not peer-reviewed, but can instead be submitted, meaning that as many as can fit will be accepted.

The guidelines for posters draw heavily from those posted by Mary Bucholtz for the COSWL/IGALA conference in July 2003 and are used with her permission and with only minor changes. The guidelines for abstracts and for twenty-minute talks draw rather loosely on guidelines available on the Linguistic Society of America's website (www.lsadc.org), having been considerably changed in various ways for the needs of this particular conference. Remember that "guidelines" are just that: they are intended as possibly helpful advice, not as regulations that must be followed.
