- The abstract should be informative and understandable to those not within the author's area of research. It should present what is important in the poster, moving from an introductory statement of the rationale and objectives or hypotheses, through materials and methods, to emphasize results, conclusions, and impact. The abstract should stand alone; do not deflect the reader with promises such as "will be discussed" or "will be explained." Limit use of abbreviations, and define the ones you use.
