19ª Reunião - Redação de Resumo e Pôster para Evento Científico

New Section

In this section, the speaker introduces the topic of writing a summary for a scientific event and provides insights into the importance and structure of poster abstracts.

Understanding the Importance of Poster Abstracts

• Poster abstracts play a crucial role in scientific methodology by serving as the primary means to publicly communicate research findings, similar to articles submitted to journals.

• These abstracts serve as a concise presentation of academic work, displayed on posters accompanied by author presentations, facilitating academic exchange and networking opportunities.

• The ABNT defines a summary as a concise presentation of relevant points from a document. However, for scientific events, it should not be presented as part of the complete article but rather focus on essential and pertinent information.

Crafting an Effective Summary

• Evaluators assess summaries based on their clarity, relevance, and coherence. Authors should avoid overwhelming details that may lead to confusion or poor structuring.

• It is vital for summaries to engage readers with impactful themes that sustain curiosity throughout the text, ensuring that each written piece contributes meaningfully to society.

New Section

This segment delves into different types of summaries—simple and expanded—and highlights their distinctions in structure and content.

Simple vs. Expanded Summaries

• There are two main types of summaries: simple and expanded. A simple summary presents an overview of research objectives, methods, results, and conclusions concisely.

• In contrast, an expanded summary compares works with other authors' contributions while incorporating tables and graphs for enhanced comprehension.

Structuring Posters & Resumes

• Prior to drafting a summary, understanding event guidelines such as font size limits and word count is crucial. Maintaining clear language without unnecessary adjectives or adverbs is recommended.

• Titles should be attractive yet informative while adhering to standard formatting rules regarding author names and affiliations. Electronic submissions often require email addresses for all authors.

New Section

This section emphasizes the importance of adhering to specific guidelines when structuring summaries for submission at scientific events.

Guidelines for Summary Structure

• Comprehending event-specific rules on font size, character limits, word count is essential before crafting a summary to ensure compliance with submission requirements.

• Attention must be paid to spelling errors since conference proceedings typically publish submissions as they are received without corrections from organizers.

Submission Preparation Tips

• Titles should be concise yet descriptive while providing insight into the study's focus area. Details like author names must align with event norms for consistency across submissions.

Orientations for Writing a Scientific Abstract

In this section, the speaker discusses the key components and considerations when writing a scientific abstract.

Objectives of the Study

• The objectives of the study should be described specifically and avoid being overly subjective.

• In scientific articles, there is more freedom in describing objectives compared to abstracts.

Methodology Description

• The methodology section should outline essential points such as study design, study location (e.g., ICU, ER), inclusion/exclusion criteria, interventions applied, observed data, and analysis methods.

• Clear explanation of how the study was conducted is crucial for understanding its purpose and outcomes.

Results Presentation

• Results should focus on key points like the number of participants included and relevant data without excessive detail.

• Ethical approval statements are mandatory in full articles but not typically required in abstracts due to space constraints.

Writing Conclusions and Submission Process

This part covers crafting concise conclusions and navigating the submission process for scientific abstracts.

Crafting Conclusions

• Conclusions should directly address previously stated objectives concisely and impactfully.

• It is crucial to avoid extrapolating beyond the evaluated data while formulating conclusions.

Submission Process

• Many events now offer electronic submission processes via email for ease and efficiency.

Detailed Overview of Poster Presentation Guidelines

In this section, the speaker discusses the guidelines for creating effective poster presentations, emphasizing the importance of visual elements and information clarity.

Understanding Poster Specifications

• Event organizers determine where posters are displayed.

• Event specifications dictate poster format, dimensions, and layout.

• Consider audience, message, budget, format, deadlines when planning a poster.

Visual Planning of Posters

• Balance graphic elements for visibility at various distances.

• Use symmetrical axes for design coherence.

Importance of Visual Elements

• Posters should provide an overview of work with clear sections: objectives, methodology, results.

• Illustrations (graphs, tables, images) enhance communication but require high graphic quality.

Effective Design Elements in Poster Presentations

This segment focuses on crucial design elements that enhance poster presentations and engage viewers effectively.

Key Design Considerations

• Include institution identification, team members' names, research supporters' details.

• Use attractive titles with concise language and technical terms relevant to the field.

Achieving Visual Harmony

• Maintain balance between text and images with consistent fonts and colors.

Presentation Etiquette for Poster Sessions

The speaker highlights essential etiquette tips for presenting posters during sessions to maximize engagement and interaction.

Presentation Best Practices

• Arrive early to set up posters correctly before audience arrival.

New Section

The speaker discusses the shortcomings in a poster presentation, highlighting issues such as lack of team identification, errors in Portuguese, failure to identify sources and illustration titles, omission of bibliographic references, and not mentioning supporting institutions.

Lack of Proper Identification and Errors

• Identifying team members and contact information is crucial.

• Errors in Portuguese should be avoided for professionalism.

• Failure to identify sources and illustration titles can lead to confusion.

New Section

The speaker describes a poster created for the 4th National Oncology Congress, showcasing the collaborative effort with Alice, Gabi, and Marina. The design was pre-prepared for the event.

Creation of Poster for Oncology Congress

• Collaborative effort with Alice, Gabi, and Marina.

• Poster created for the 4th National Oncology Congress.

• Design was pre-prepared for the event.

New Section

The speaker reflects on their learning experience while creating a poster for a Metabolism Congress. Despite preferring another design, they acknowledge the continuous learning process in scientific endeavors.

Learning Experience from Creating Posters

• Reflecting on creating a poster for a Metabolism Congress.

• Acknowledgment of continuous learning in scientific pursuits.

• Preference for another design but embracing the learning process.

New Section

The speaker emphasizes the importance of learning through experiences by listening to feedback from clients. They share their experience presenting at a congress and stress maintaining composure during interactions.

Importance of Learning Through Experiences

• Learning through client feedback is valuable.

• Sharing experiences from presenting at a congress.
