Tips for selecting a Subject Code for your abstract 

When submitting your paper to the abstract system you will need to select a subject code.  The subject code you select is the category your paper will be grouped in when being reviewed. If accepted, sessions are comprised of abstracts with the same subject codes.  To assist you with selecting a subject code the Organizing Committee created keywords for each of the subject codes.  We recommend you refer to the keywords for subject codes to help you determine the subject code for your submission. 

Instructions to upload your poster:

1. Visit aaea.org and click on “My Account” in the upper right corner to log in to your account. If you don’t remember your credentials, click on “Need Help Logging In” and enter the email connected to your AAEA account.
2. Once you are logged in, scroll down and click on the “Abstract Management System” button.
3. This will take you to a list of your presentations.
4. Click on the title of your accepted abstract.
5. Scroll down past Reviews and Subject Codes, and you will see a header titled “Upload full paper”. Browse for and select your PDF document to upload.
6. Once your full paper is uploaded, click “Continue” until you are back to your presentation home screen.

AAEA will upload your poster to AgEcon after this deadline. For any questions regarding this process, please contact us at info@aaea.org. 

Poster Design

To help you develop your poster, we have provided a few suggestions below. This is meant as a general overview to get you started.

Poster Size

The maximum poster size is 4 feet high by 8 feet long, minus a 1-inch margin. Your actual poster may be smaller. Pushpins will be provided for you to hang your poster.

Content

• Introduction: Provide context for your research. Why you are excited about it?
• Objectives: What questions did you address or answer?
• Methods: Key information on your research design and analysis. Keep it brief.
• Results & Discussion: What was observed? How do the results relate to the original questions? Focus on the key points.
• Conclusions: What did you learn?

Replace text with graphical elements as much as possible (e.g., photographs or maps of study's location, other visual aids to convey key results), but do not forget your complete contact information. Consider including a photograph of the presenting author.

Layout

Clearly indicate your key message. Avoid clutter and unnecessary detail. Don't fight the reader's gravity-pull from top to bottom and left to right. Remember graphical elements, such as balance, symmetry, rhythm, repetition, and change.

Aesthetics

Any text in your poster should be readable from 6 feet away, including text in figures. This means no text should be smaller than a 20-point font. The title should be much larger and readable from a distance (12 feet or more).

Use fonts without serif, but bold. Use dark letters on light backgrounds. Use color carefully; very bright colors can easily fatigue the reader. Stick to a theme of 2-3 colors.

Below you will find a few posters that were displayed at the 2013 Joint Annual Meeting. They are all great examples of how to communicate information in an effective and visually interesting way.
