Congratulations, your abstract has been accepted to the ISSR Graduate Student Poster Contest!
Posters may report on either Proposed Research or Completed Research. Prizes will be given for the best posters in each of these two categories, 6 prizes per category. Students who have completed their data collection and are writing up should present the research design and the research results in the Completed Category. Students who are preparing for research should present their research design and their expected results in the Proposed Category. If your research category has changed since your abstract, you may enter your poster in the new category (if for instance you have completed your data collection since abstract submission and want to change to Completed Category from Proposed).
The judges will be looking for the following:
Is this a compelling research question, supported by literature and citations?
Is the poster visually interesting, understandable to the reader, and with a good, clear argument flow
Is the research rigorous, with a complete and well-justified research design (sample, data collection when appropriate, analysis)?
