The Advantages and Disadvantages of Various Mediums for Disseminating Data
Poster presentations provide better visually attractive and easy-to-understand data presentation making it easier to understand the information; however, only less data can be presented in a single poster. Subsequently, podium presentations provide better and more detailed presentations with a live interactive audience but may be limited time and space availability. Manuscripts present more detailed and peer-reviewed data and information to a wide audience; however, publishing may take time, and access may be limited in certain regions.
Each medium serves different purposes, and researchers often use a combination of these methods to disseminate data effectively. The choice depends on the nature of the research, the target audience, and the level of detail needed to communicate the findings.
