surferdoc Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I counted my posters last year. I might suggest making sure that the abstract was published in the conference proceedings, just to cover your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da5id Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 How do I find out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surferdoc Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 There are a couple of ways. You can google your name and key word or two from the title of the abstract/poster. The confernce was likely linked to a journal or professional body that you could look up online. They usuallly will have a list of conferences they organize . From my experience, there will be a document there where you find the abstracts. OR, ask your supervisor (they'd probably be a good choice for verifier anyway so you would have to run by them). Hope that helps. Good luck with the writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeful_med Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 So when you present a poster, and the abstract was published in the conference, that is just one research activity right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rask Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Just as an FYI...in most fields, posters are NOT considered to be a publication. Even if the conference abstracts are published, sometimes in a special issue of a journal (again, this may be field dependent). Posters and abstracts generally do not go through a peer-review process and so would not be considered publications the same way that a journal article would.

I wouldn't consider posters as publications. But, if you're not going to mention your poster anywhere else in the application, then why not I suppose.

soporific Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 If it is a poster at an international conference, where your abstract is peer reviewed and subsequently published in the supplements of a prestigious journal, then I would consider it a publication. If not, then just mention it when describing your research experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 They some value as research regardless though - even CARMS has a section for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renoir Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 They some value as research regardless though - even CARMS has a section for them. So what you're recommending is to put them under the publications section anyways? According to the U of C blog, they are specifically not publications unless published as proceedings in the society's journal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
