Submitting to the NSMNSS virtual poster session

We invite posters presenting your experiences of conducting social media research in any of the social sciences. Your topic could relate to the challenges you have faced, the benefits you’ve found from utilising social media platforms for social research, issues relating to ethics, quality or participant engagement. Poster submissions provide an opportunity to present your research to a wider audience of our network members.

We will be running two virtual poster sessions during our digital event on 23rd April. Virtual posters will take the traditional poster presentation beyond the limitations of a coffee break or brief poster session to a bigger audience and wider debate online during our Digital Debates sessions.

The goal of a virtual poster is the same as for a traditional poster: to present your research in an informative, attractive, and succinct format. Posters will be hosted on the NSMNSS blog, with brief summaries of the research and the opportunity to share comments on the posters with the authors and with other researchers.

What format can my poster be in?

• For the virtual event, we can accept posters as PDF, PowerPoint (up to version 2010) or Video files which must be no larger than 2MB. We are not able to accept posters in any other formats.

ALL Posters should be submitted with 150-200 words describing the research, which will be published alongside the poster.

What are the correct dimensions for my poster?

•  The size of your printable poster should be A3
•  We recommend that you use standard font styles such as Times New Roman, Arial, Calibri or Verdana, as these are easy to read. 

How does the virtual poster session work?

All posters will be uploaded at a designated time onto the NSMNSS blog, with the 150-200 word author description. The blog post will have an open comments thread, where the author can engage with virtual poster session attendees. The poster will remain hosted at the URL for ongoing dialogue after the conference ends. If you are submitting a virtual poster please also register to attend the online debates on 23rd April here: http://nsmnssdigitaldebate.eventbrite.co.uk/
