 The following information are
suggested guidelines for your
physical display taken from
ISEF
Important information should be readable
from about 10 feet away.
The suggested smallest font on your
physical poster is 16-18 pt.
Title is short and draws interest.
Word count of about 300 to 800 words.
Text is clear and to the point.
Use of bullets, numbering, and headlines
make it easy to read.
Effective use of graphics, color, and fonts

INTRODUCTION
Many of the projects sent by the
country to the Intel ISEF have written
this part in two or four paragraphs with
no subsections

It must present the (1) background of

the study, (2) hypothesis and
statement of the problem, (3)
objectives, (4) significance and (5)
limitations of the study

MATERIALS &
METHODS Subsections can be used (usually 1 short
paragraph per subsection)
It should provide enough details so that others can
repeat the experiments following the methods written
in the research paper, however, conciseness should
be maintained.
It should include the significant steps such as
gathering of materials, preparing of set-ups, tests and
experimentations, data analysis, etc., the materials
used for each step must also be included

MATERIALS &
METHODS

Tests and procedures conducted by a regulated

research institution do not need to be described in
detail; however, details should be elaborated in tests
and procedures personally designed and performed
by the students.
Include photographs, layouts, schematic diagrams or
drawings especially for inventions and new products

It includes all data gathered from the
RESULTS experiments which can be presented through
tables, graphs, figures, etc.

Appropriate data presentation must be

observed. (table vs. graph, bar graph vs. line
graph

Tables, graphs, figures should each have their

respective captions. A good caption must have a
Table/Graph/Figure Number and a short
description.

Captions for tables must be placed on top of the

table. While those for graphs, figures, diagrams,
etc. should be placed under them.

RESULTS Each table , graph, figure, etc may be accompanied

with short descriptions on the trends derived from
the data analysis conducted

Subsections may be used especially if multiple

distinct tests were conducted (eg. Results from Test
No. 1, Results from test No. 2)

This part of the research paper may begin with: This

study determined the _______ as prepared with the
following tables, graphs and figures.

No discussion should be presented in this part of the

reserach paper, more than 90% of this part shows
only tables, graphs, figures, etc.

DISCUSSION treated as the “soul” of the research paper and
not just as an accessory part

Most of the related literatures are integrated in

this part and not in the Introduction

Subsections can also be used especially if

multiple distinct tests were conducted (eg.
Discussion for results in Test No. 1, discussion
for results in test No. 2)

This part of the research paper usually answers

conducted?

What are and how did these factors cause such

What are the other related research that agree

with such results and trends? ( If any, indicate

used?

and trends? And what are the possible causes of
these contradictions?

CONCLUSION It summarizes the results of the research

Usually two to three sentences with no

subsections

It should not generalize and should present

only conclusion based on the results and
trends discussed . Eventually, it should answer
the objectives presented in the introduction.

It should mention a practical application.

RECOMMENDATIONS It presents ehat else can be done to improve the research,

to widen the knowledge about this research topic, and
other variables that can be tested in relation to the
research (other researchers of the same interest will
usually read this part to conceptualize their own research
topic)

Usually a short paragraph with no subsections
