Properly acknowledging a visual display of research findings presented at a conference is essential for maintaining academic integrity. This acknowledgement, whether it appears in a bibliography or reference list, ensures credit is given to the originator of the presented information and allows readers to locate the original source. An example of a citation for such a presentation might include the presenter’s name, the presentation title, the conference name, the location, and the date.
Crediting sources accurately demonstrates respect for intellectual property and avoids plagiarism. Furthermore, citing these presentations provides a valuable link between published research and the broader scholarly conversation occurring at conferences. Historically, these forms of citations haven’t always been standardized, but increasingly, consistency is expected for scholarly communication to be properly tracked and accessed.
