Structure Conference Paper


 How to structure Conference Paper



Your paper should follow a logical organization—you can go from the small details to the big picture or in reverse. You can talk through your research, beginning with the hypothesis, the research methods, the findings, and ending with your conclusion. You can use a narrative to discuss your ideas as well. The point here is that your presentation is organized in a way that will allow your audience to follow along. Here’s an example outline of this structure:
  • Begin with hypothesis
    • Include any important information that the audience may need to understand the hypothesis
  • Discuss research methods
  • Report your findings
  • Discuss the implications of these findings as they relate to the field
The same advice follows if you are making a conference presentation that includes audio and visuals—you can’t randomly throw words, pictures, and sounds together and hope that it makes sense. Audio and visuals need to be organized in a way that complements the ideas and points that you discuss.
