Citing Conference sessions, Poster abstracts, and Poster presentations

Conference sessions, poster abstracts, and poster presentations follow a significantly different format than other types of APA references.

• The author of the work is always listed first.
• Next, the FULL date of the conference is listed in the date area, so if a conference is held over several days, you need to list the date the conference starts, through the date the conference ends.
• Next add the title of the work and put it in italics, then add (in square brackets), whether it's a [Poster session], a [Poster abstract], or a [Conference session] and then add a period.
• In the source area share 1) the name of the conference or organization - or both (comma), 2) the name of the city or town the conference was held (comma), 3) the abbreviation of the state or the region (depending on the country) (comma), 4) the country the conference was held.
• Lastly share the URL of the WORK (not the conference in general) as a live hyperlink.

(Jackson, et al., 2017). 

Poster Presentation :

NOTE: Because the poster presentations of this conference were presented in a journal, there are actually two ways you could cite this particular poster abstract, either way is acceptable in APA .

How to Put Poster Presentation on Resume - Step by Step

How do you add poster presentations to your resume/CV?

And how do you format it? Do you include all presentations? What if you were not the presenter?

Here's how to do it:

How to put poster presentation on resume

• List the most relevant poster presentations chronologically

Example template:

[Presentations header] [Your LastName FN], [more authors' names]. [Poster title]. Poster presented at: [Conference name]; [Event Date]; [Event Location]

Practical example:

Presentations:

Johnson A.T. , Brown M.P. The effect of unemployment policies on the unemployment rate and willingness to find a job. Poster presented at: 2019 Labor Economics Conference; October 2019; New York City, NY.

Stevens K., Johnson A.T . Employment incentives impact on labor force participation. Poster presented at: Nacional Economics Conference; February 2019; Los Angeles, CA.

1 - Create a presentations section

If you don't have one already, create a presentations section on your resume .

If you have a long list of publications, then presentations should be a subsection of the publications section.

The presentations and/or publications section should come after your Education history, job history, and research experience.

2 - Include the authors' names

List the authors' names in the same order they appear on the poster . The last name should come first, while the first and middle names should be abbreviated.

You should bold your own name and separate names by commas. Underline the presenter if it's not you. Finish with a period.

3 - Add poster title

Add the poster title exactly as it shows in the poster. End that section with a period.

4 - Write down conference/event name

Write "Poster presented at:" followed by conference name and finish with a semicolon. If the conference has a date in its name, ‌include it too.

5 - Add conference dates

Include the month and year of the conference finishing with a semicolon.

6 - Include the location where the conference was held

Finally, the last element should be the location of the conference.

If your conference happened in the United States, add the city and the abbreviated state name. If it was an international conference, add the country name.

7 - List the most relevant poster presentations chronologically

Do you want to create a resume or a CV? In some countries, the terms resume and CV are used interchangeably.

In the United States, resumes are summaries of your career, while CVs are academic biographies that include all your experiences and publications.

If you want to create an American style resume, ‌pick only the most relevant presentations . Otherwise, list all your poster presentations.

Also, list your presentations chronologically and don't list the same presentation more than once.

Should you include all poster presentations?

If you have a long career, you don't have to include all your presentations. Especially presentations at minor events such as department conferences.

However, if you're just getting started with your career, include as many presentations as possible.

What about oral presentations?

Separate oral presentations from your poster presentations. Have two subsections on your resume/CV: one for poster presentations and another one for oral presentations.

Format oral presentations the same way as your poster presentations.

What and how to cite

Citing your poster in your cv.

When doing research, you are often building on the work of others and will sometimes take an idea, fact or quotation from someone else's work such as a book or article. If you are including such ideas/facts/quotations on your poster, you must cite your sources to give credit to other researchers and writers and so others can trace your research or retrieve the source material. The same is true for other kinds of sources such as pictures or other graphics that may be incorporated into the design of your poster.

If you have a handout to accompany your poster, you may list your references on that. If not, you should list them in small type at the bottom of the poster.

Different meeting sponsors/organizations may have differing styles for formatting citations. Use the style required in the abstract/poster guidelines or your research advisor

• Citation Management Visit the Citation Management Guide for more information on how to cite in APA, AMA, etc. style and how to manage citations.

Posters presented at meetings include both items that were only presented in this way or those which were followed by a publication. If you do follow a poster with a publication, cite that subsequent work on your CV rather than the meeting poster.

Regardless of the style you follow, elements for the citation will be the same: Author name(s), title of the poster, title of the conference/meeting, date, location. The conference may also have a descriptive "name" as well as a title.

How to reference a presentation in apa style in a cv.

A CV (curriculum vitae, Latin for “course of life”) is a helpful way to keep track of your professional accomplishments--a critical component of job applications, and a necessary attachment to certain professional submissions. You should format the style of your CV according to your professional field. If you work in education, psychology, a social science, science or medicine, format the CV in American Psychological Association (APA) style.

Put your name at the beginning of the reference, with the last name followed by a comma and then your first initial followed by a period.

Put the month and year of the presentation in parentheses after the period, with a comma after the month. Put a period outside the parentheses.

Italicize the title of the presentation. With the exception of proper nouns, only capitalize the first letter of the title and the first letter after a colon.

Give a one-sentence description of the presentation. Include information about the audience and the location.

Indent every line except the first line so that your last name is separated from the body of the reference.

• Remember that the CV reference is in APA style. Do not write a wordy or biased description of the presentation. Present the information clearly and concisely.

Introduction

Conference cancelled, conference postponed, conference moved online, making your work available.

• ORCID This link opens in a new window
• Responsible Research Assessment
• Additional Resources

During the pandemic there were numerous cancellations and changes to conferences, workshops, and other events. There have been many conversations and suggestions about how these cancellations and related changes could be represented on CVs and resumes. This guide pulls together examples that may be helpful to you in thinking about how to represent how your own work may have been impacted. Keep in mind that guidance on whether to include canceled conference presentations and related work in your CV or on your resume often varies by academic discipline, department, or professional organization, and may be governed by specific institutional policies related to tenure and promotion.

If the conference was canceled and you would like to list your work on your CV or resume, examples from APA and MLA are below.

APA Example :

Boissy, A., Davis, C., & Montori, V. (2020, March 13–22). Keeping healthcare human in the digital era [Conference session]. SXSW Conference, Austin, TX, United States. https://schedule.sxsw.com/2020/events/PP98262 (Conference canceled)

MLA Example :

Chen, Joanne. “Strategies for Teaching Grammar to First-Year College Students.” Conference on College Composition and Communication, Milwaukee, WI, 25–28 Mar. 2020. Conference canceled.

Option to Include COVID-19 as Reason for Cancellation:

Some academics, professional societies, and universities are recommending that you include the reason for the cancellation. For example, the American Association of Public Opinion Research offers this guidance in its 2020 Conference FAQs :

Can I list the paper that I was scheduled to give on my CV or resume? A: You can list the paper that you were scheduled to present as “Accepted for presentation at the 2020 75th annual meeting for the American Association for Public Opinion Research (Paper not presented because of COVID-19)."

Below is a short list (not comprehensive) of organizations recommending including COVID-19 as the the reason for the cancellation:

NACADA  (National Conference on Academic Advising) 

Stony Brook University

The above recommendations and examples may also be modified (according to the style guide used by your discipline) and applied to conference work other than accepted presentations, such as conference organizer/convener, conference award, or invited keynote speaker.

Regardless of whether your conference has been canceled, postponed, or moved online, follow the steps on the "Making Your Work Available Online" tab to help broaden the impact of your work.

If the conference has been postponed, you can either wait until you have the updated conference information before referencing your work on your CV, or go ahead and list your work with a note that the conference has been postponed due to COVID-19.

APA Guidance on Conference Postponement:

If the conference will be postponed, simply update the dates and location as needed once the new information is known. There is no need to mention the postponement in the reference.

Example of Noting Reason for Conference Postponement (from NACADA) :

Baxter, A. B. (2020, June 22-25). Technology-aided advising: Moving quickly to break the internet [Poster presentation]. NACADA International Conference, Athens, Greece. https://nacada.ksu.edu/Events/International-Conferences/Athens.aspx. Unable to deliver; conference postponed due to COVID-19 outbreak.

If the conference has moved to an online format, you may reference your work as planned.

For Example, APA Recommends the Following :

If the conference has been moved to online only, use the template in Section 10.5 to create the reference. There is no need to indicate that the conference is online only. Online-only conferences use the same template as in-person conferences. Use the original planned location of the conference in the reference to aid readers in identifying the conference.

Another Example from the American Association of Public Opinion Research Does Note the Format of the Conference:

If you participate in the virtual conference, you can list the paper as “Presented at the 2020 75th annual meeting virtual conference for the American Association for Public Opinion Research.”

If the Conference Has Not Moved Online and You Choose to Present Your Previously Planned Conference Talk Independently in Real Time (Live) Online, Consider the Following:

If the conference has not moved online, but you choose to give your presentation independently in real time (live) online (via Zoom, etc.) to colleagues and/or the public, it may be advisable (depending on the norms of your particular discipline) to list your presentation just once on your CV or resume. So, you could choose to cite just the conference presentation (which was part of the canceled conference) or you could choose to cite your live, online presentation (clearly distinguishing it as a stand-alone presentation, independent of the canceled conference).

For example, NACADA provides this guidance :

What if my session was supposed to be given at a conference, but I gave it as a Zoom presentation instead? It is not acceptable to list a presentation or poster more than once on the CV or Resume if the content is largely identical. The author decides which to cite, according to the accepted practice of the discipline or professional department/unit. (NOTE: If the Zoom session is an “invited” session and the conference presentation would have been a “peer-reviewed” session, most would select the “peer-reviewed” event to include.)

Regardless of whether your conference has been canceled, postponed, or moved online, there are steps you can take to broaden your impact by making sure your work is available online.

1. Disseminate Your Work

Your work may already be included in the published (or forthcoming) conference proceedings. Some conference organizations (such as the American Chemical Society ) are also setting up repositories to distribute presenters' work. There are also several well-established open repositories for various disciplines, including arXiv (physics, mathematics, computer science, quantitative biology, quantitative finance, statistics, electrical engineering and systems science, and economics); Biorxiv (biology); Humanities Commons Core Repository (humanities, library and information science); medRxiv (health sciences); SocArXiv (social & behavioral science arts & humanities, law, education). To find more repositories, browse the Directory of Open Access Repositories .

As a member of the Syracuse University community, you also have the option to submit your work (abstract, conference proceedings, article, slides, recorded presentation, related information, etc.) to SURFACE (the Syracuse University Institutional Repository). Formats accepted include PDFs, videos, audio recordings, and more. For tips on submitting your work to SURFACE, see the Tutorial: How to Submit to SURFACE and the PDF of Step by Step Instructions for Authors: SURFACE . If you have questions about SURFACE, please contact [email protected] .

2. Update Your CV or Resume

The following advice from the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s Office of Academic Affairs should be relevant to the Syracuse University community as well:

List the citation on your CV as you normally would for something that was accepted, and add the link to where your scholarly work has been disseminated. This applies to scholarship presentations of accepted peer-reviewed work impacted by Covid-19 cancellations. Example: Love, L. M. & Smith, X. Y. (2020, July). The title of my amazing work. 2020 Group on Faculty Affairs Professional Development conference, Portland, OR. Due to Covid-19 related conference cancellation, this peer-reviewed abstract and/or presentation was disseminated on <insert date> at <insert ... link [to work]>.

Resources for Recording Your Presentation:

If you would like to record your presentation, tips from Syracuse University ITS on  recording lectures may be helpful, as well as information about video captioning .

For instance, you may record your presentation on your laptop (using the record feature in Syracuse University provided videoconferencing software , such as Zoom), download and edit your recording using standard pre-installed software (such as Video Editor) and then upload your recording to your Syracuse University provided YouTube account before following the directions for YouTube captioning . If you have questions about recording and captioning your presentation, contact your Syracuse University school/college IT department.

General Example & Explanation

Variations - URLs?

Some URLs may be long and complicated. APA 7th edition allows the use of shorter URLs. Shortened URLs can be created using any URL shortener service; however, if you choose to shorten the URL, you must double-check that the URL is functioning and brings the reader to the correct website. 

Common URL Shortner websites include:

More Information

For more information about URLs, see Section 9.36 on page 300 of APA Manual, 7th edition. 

NOTE:  Check your instructor's preference about using short URLs. Some instructors may want the full URL. 

Variations - DOIs?

Some DOIs may be long and complicated. APA 7th edition allows the use of shorter DOI numbers. Shortened DOIs can be located at the International DOI Foundations, shortDOI Service . 

More Information:

For more information about DOIs, see Section 9.36 on page 300 of APA Manual, 7th edition. 

NOTE: Check your instructor's preference for using short DOIs. Some instructors may want the full DOI. 

Variations - Live Hyperlinks?

Should my urls be live.

It depends. When adding URLs to a paper or other work, first, be sure to include the full hyperlink. This includes the http:// or the https://. Additionally, consider where and how the paper or work will be published or read. If the work will only be read in print or as a Word doc or Google Doc, then the URLs should not be live (i.e., they are not blue or underlined). However, if the work will be published or read online, then APA advises to include live URLs. This would allow the reader to click on a link and go to the source.   

For more information, see Section 9.35 on pages 299-300 of the APA Manual, 7th edition. 

NOTE: Check your instructor's preference about using live URLs. Some instructors may not want you to use live URLs. 

Conference Presentation

Conference sessions and presentations include conference sessions, paper presentations, poster presentations, keynote addresses, and symposium contributions. In brackets after the title, disclose the presentation type as described by the conference. 

For more information about conference sessions and presentations, see Section 10.5 on page 332 of the APA Manual, 7th ed.

Chapter 3 Conference Publications

• Sample Citation and Introduction to Citing Papers and Poster Sessions Presented at Meetings

The general format for a reference to an unpublished conference paper or poster session, including punctuation:

- for a paper:

- for a poster session:

• Examples of Citations to Papers and Poster Sessions Presented at Meetings

Papers and poster sessions presented at meetings include both items that were presented but never published and items for which any subsequent publication is unknown. If subsequent publication is known, cite the published form rather than the meeting paper or poster session.

Begin the reference with information on the author(s) and title of the paper or poster session; use the same format as that used for conference papers. See Chapter 3 Conference Publications for details. Use the phrases "Paper presented at:" and "Poster session presented at:" to connect author and title information with meeting information.

Although author affiliation is an optional part of a citation, including it in references to unpublished papers and poster sessions is very helpful to the reader because compilations of papers and poster sessions can be difficult to locate.

Examples provided in this chapter are primarily from material distributed at various conferences. No attempt was made to ascertain whether or not subsequent publication occurred, as would normally be done before citation.

How do I add a virtual oral presentation at a national meeting to a CV?

How do I add a virtual oral presentation at at national meeting to a CV? The oral presentation was originally in person at a national convention scheduled for September 2020 which has now been changed to a totally virtually meeting. How is this recorded in a CV? Is mention made that it is a virtual presentation? Is the url included?

The American Psychological Association's APA Style Blog offers guidance on listing conference presentations on your CV for conferences that have been canceled or changed to a virtual format in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The blog entry addresses a number of possible scenarios. For guidance on  referencing virtual/online conferences , please scroll down to scenarios 2 and 3 in the numbered list:

Please note that the APA Style Blog guidance says, "There is no need to indicate that the conference is online only. Online-only conferences use the same template as in-person conferences." 

As for the location of the conference, The APA Publication Manual (7th ed.), Section 9.31 Works With Specific Locations, states, "For works associated with a specific location, such as conference presentations, ... include the location in the source element of the reference to help with retrieval" (p. 297). So for a conference that is NOT associated with a specific location because it was planned and held online only, you do not include a physical location, nor do you include "virtual" or "online" where the physical location would typically appear.

Do include the URL of the conference as the final element of the reference.

• This response does not answer the question. The request was how to reference an online conference - not one that was cancelled. APA style for conference presentations requires that the conference location be noted - what does one do when the conference is virtual? - do you identify the location as "online", "virtual", leave it blank, or something else? by Lloyd on Feb 22, 2021
• That APA Style Blog entry may refer to cancelled conferences in the entry title, but if you scroll down to view/read the full response, you will see it addresses various scenarios of the pandemic's effect on professional conferences: Scenarios number 2 and 3 provide guidance for referencing conferences that are (or were changed to) online only (2), and for referencing conferences that took place (online or in-person), but you were unable to attend or present (3). APA guidance for conference presentations only requires that the conference location be noted when the conference is associated with a specific location. If there is no associated location, you simply DO NOT INCLUDE a location. If there is a URL for the online conference, be sure to include that as the final element of the reference. by Michele Nance on Feb 22, 2021
• This still does not answer the question. How do you cite a conference that was originally planned as virtual (not changed to virtual) and that you presented at virtually. The blog only tells you what to do if the conference had an original location, was canceled or you were unable to present. by JT on Mar 03, 2021
• Read scenario number 2 in the APA Style Blog's answer, "There is no need to indicate that the conference is online only. Online-only conferences use the same template as in-person conferences." The original question was specifically about conferences that were planned to be held in person and were changed to online in response to the pandemic. However, the APA answer says "there is no need indicate that a conference is online only," so it does not matter whether it was planned to be virtual or changed to virtual. by Michele Nance on Mar 03, 2021
• Thank you so much, your answers are very thorough and helpful! by Augusta on Mar 03, 2021

How do you include a poster in an academic resume?

I'm a chemistry major and I've done a few poster presentations and an oral presentation. I have to put together an academic resume for a class. I was told to include mt presentations.

First off, are these things worthwhile to include or is it like putting in that participation ribbon you earned in gym class in 5th grade?

If it's worthwhile to list these things, how do I do so? Do I separate the oral presentation from the posters? Do I include the name of the conference it was presented at?

• 1 Are you in a field (Eg CS), where a poster presentation (and an oral presentation) are accepted to a conference based on the submission of a peer reviewed paper detailing the completed work? –  Frames Catherine White Commented Mar 21, 2016 at 4:18
• 1 A good solution is to look at several other people's CVs in your field. –  Austin Henley Commented Mar 21, 2016 at 5:57

In academia, one lists things related to accomplishments and dissemination of research in the CV. This typically includes things like papers or preprints, software, as well as presentations one gives. In particular, your list of presentations gives one piece of information into how active you are in your research community. So yes, assuming your poster presentations are academic/research related, it's appropriate to put them in your CV, though in-class presentations are typically not included.

General comments: a CV is different than a resume so there's a lot of flexibility in what you include and how you format it. Still, there are some dos and don'ts. You can find loads of example CVs online, but it might be most helpful for you to look at sample CVs of young researchers (students, postdocs) in your field for some models.

Specific comments: there are different ways you can organize your presentations, but my suggestion is make a section titled presentations, and within that two subsections, one for oral presentations or "talks" and one for poster presentations. Then for each presentation, list the title, venue including conference name and date. E.g.

• From Cervantes to Swift, 33rd AEIOU Conference , University of Lillipilut, Mildendo, Lilliput, April 1, 1726.

• Note: I am assuming you're not in a situation where presentations have "multiple authors"---if you are, list your "coauthors" as well, in a similar format to other CVs you find in your field. –  Kimball Commented Mar 21, 2016 at 3:04
• Just wanted to add that everything on the CV should be findable by the person reading it. So, the conference proceedings where the poster (at least abstract) is published should be provided. Since this can lead to formatting ugliness on paper, you should include a DOI on the CV. If the journal doesn't provide one, you can publish the material in Zenodo or Figshare –  Bruce Becker Commented Sep 17, 2016 at 17:56

Leeds Harvard: Poster

Reference examples, conference poster.

Family name, INITIAL(S) (of the author). Year.  Title . [Poster]. Event name (if applicable), date, location (for where the poster was exhibited).

Brooks, I. 2013.  Paper chains and octopuses: an activities based information skills session . [Poster]. Librarians' Information Literacy Annual Conference, 25-27 March, The University of Manchester Library.

Poster viewed online

Family name, INITIAL(S) (of the author). Year.  Title . [Online poster]. [Date accessed]. Available from: URL

Smith, R. 2013.  Did you know? Marketing information literacy training . [Online poster]. [Accessed 5 May 2017]. Available from:  http://www.slideshare.net/

If no author is identifiable, start the reference with the title of the poster, followed by the year.

Citation examples

Author and date.

When the author name is not mentioned in the text, the citation consists of the author’s name and the year of publication in brackets.

It was emphasised that citations in the text should be consistent (Jones, 2017).

If you have already named the author in the text, only the publication year needs to be mentioned in brackets.

Jones (2017) emphasised that citations in the text should be consistent.

Three or more authors

If a source has three or more authors, the name of the first author should be given, followed by the phrase "et al."

It was emphasised that citations in a text should be consistent (Jones et al., 2017).

Jones et al. (2017) emphasised that citations in a text should be consistent.

Leeds Harvard does not use ibid to refer to previously cited items. If you are citing the same item twice in a row (i.e. you do not cite any other items in the text between the two citations) you must write the full citation again. 

The key principle of referencing is that the reader should understand which information came from another source and which is your own idea, so you should provide citations as often as is necessary to make this clear.  If you feel that you are citing the same source too many times in one paragraph, you could change the way that you are writing:

• You could include the author’s surname or pronoun in the sentence, to show you are still referring to the same source.
• You could include a second source to make your paragraph feel less repetitive and add further support to the point you want to make. See our guidance on incorporating evidence into your writing.

Example: Jones et al. (2017) emphasised that citations in a text should be consistent and argued that referencing is a key part of academic integrity. Furthermore, having a broad range of references in a text is an indicator of the breadth of a scholar's reading and research (Jones et al., 2017). They also suggested that…

Corporate author

If the item is produced by an organisation, treat the organisation as a "corporate author". This means you can use the name of the organisation instead of that of an individual author. This includes government departments, universities or companies. Cite the corporate author in the text the same way as you would an individual author.

According to a recent report, flu jabs are as important as travel vaccines (Department of Health, 2017).  

Common issues

When you're referencing with Leeds Harvard you may come across issues with missing details, multiple authors, edited books, references to another author's work or online items, to name a few. Here are some tips on how to deal with some common issues when using Leeds Harvard.

Skip straight to the issue that affects you:
