1.The academic research report is quite lengthy,with each section in full-blown written and cited form.Poster content is summarized,and it is assumed that a full academic research report is in the works or already written.This matters because the poster may require additional reading if the reader wants to understand all the details.
2.The poster likely includes more visuals,such as graphs,charts,and photographs.This makes the poster more interesting and accessible to a wider audience,but presents a challenge for academics who often have more training and experience in writing lengthy prose.
