The Poster References Section

A References section is needed if you cite others’ works in your poster, unless you
inserted an abbreviated reference directly into the text. If you include citations
in only one section of your poster (e.g., the Introduction), the References section
can be placed at the end of that section; otherwise, include the references at the
end or bottom of your poster. Format the references with the citation format used
in the poster: number them in citation order (if you used numerical citations) or
arrange them alphabetically (if you used author–date citations). Because of space
limitations, references may be abbreviated. Consider the following examples for a
poster with numerical citations:

REFERENCES

2. Vesely et al. J. Agric. Food Chem. 2003, 51, 6941.
