Accepted standards on how to give a Medical Research Presentation: a systematic review of expert opinion papers

Conference presentations: A research primer for low- and middle-income countries

Presenting research at a conference is an opportunity to disseminate the findings, network with other researchers, and to develop your academic track record. Although every conference will have some local differences, there are common approaches to presenting your research in the best manner. This will differ depending on whether it is an oral or a poster presentation.

This research primer aims to support researchers in the early stages of their careers to undertake the best possible presentation.

Presentations, both oral and poster, follow general principles that apply everywhere.

•

Conference presentations provide an opportunity for authors to get known and to identify potential future collaborators.

Consideration should be given to the conference both in terms of the audience to be addressed, and the resources available.

Medical lectures upgraded: 11 hacks from comedy

We believe that medical lectures can be improved by considering techniques from comedy. Foremost, lecturers should educate their audiences. This works well, if lecturers have fun and entertain. In preparing the presentation, they should develop a storyline, try to surprise their audience, prepare to employ unexpected objects and carry out several test runs. During the presentation, lecturers should dare to use self-irony, appeal to students' emotions, be factual and precise, serve the audience, keep it short and provide memorable opening and closing statements. Medical lectures should be both informative and entertaining.

Presenting scientific work-news media theory in presentations, abstracts, and posters

The effective presentation of scientific work in abstracts, posters, and PowerPoint presentations resembles popular newspaper writing far more than it does traditional paper writing. In the former three, a good "hook" is essential and must be obvious and apparent up front. A slight element of truthful sensationalism is therefore often helpful. Research preparation and presentation and skills of all sorts are increasingly critical in the incrementally competitive world of academia. This paper will offer factual and practical guidelines with regards to preparing research in these formats since self-presentation is essential for career progression. It is not only what we do but how we are seen to be doing it, acceding to Batman's aphorism: "it's not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me."
