Most of us have struggled, at one time or another, giving a scientific presentation. Maybe our message isn’t being conveyed clearly, or the audience doesn’t seem interested.

Facilitating a good presentation is just as important as choosing the right journal to publish or setting the right tone for a written article: it’s all about conveying a message as accurately and as clearly as possible.

You have published articles. What’s the next big step?

Nowadays, even for the scientific community, it is impossible to ignore the possibilities of new media. With information traveling faster and broader, for scientists who want to see their work in the spotlight, published printed articles in journals are no longer enough. A live scientific paper presentation is the ideal opportunity to communicate closely with other scientists, share ideas, create debate around a particular field of interest and, last but not least, bring a whole lot of recognition.

But as perfect as it might seem, let’s face it: no matter how great the content might be, no one will notice it if they are not paying attention.

Before starting to put together your scientific paper presentation, be sure to create a dynamic flow, including moments for interaction with the audience and multimedia aids to sustain content. But don’t get carried away – no matter how intricate the content might be, it must look simple and easy to understand.

What You Need to Know about Scientific Paper Presentations

The key points below may help you put together a successful presentation, no matter the nature of the content:

  • Know your audience

    Adjust your communication to your audience, and it will be easier to convey your message.

  • Start big

    Set the tone with an intriguing and synthetic introduction. A graphical abstract provided by Elsevier’s team of scientific illustrations is an excellent option.

  • Less is more

    Avoid large chunks of text. Instead, use short headlines and organize the text in lists and/or bullet points. Remember: telling the story orally is more memorable for the audience.

  • Be different

    Show important content and conclusions differently: use multimedia, infographics and illustrations to make critical sections shine. See, for example, Elsevier’s services to enhance your presentation visually.

  • Engage the audience

    Whether by putting questions or handing a simple ice-breaker task, interacting with your audience keeps their attention and interest alive.

  • The end

    Give justice to your findings and create a memorable conclusion for your presentation. Boost your audience’s attention levels by introducing stunning visual elements and multimedia.

At Elsevier, we know that for scientists and researchers the art of building a visually captivating presentation may be a handicap. That is why we have developed a number of services, which include scientific, medical and technical illustrators that can make your work stand out – in creativity as well as in science, the sky is really the limit. Take a look at how to present scientific data.
