FAQs /
What if I don't have a Twitter account?
You can easily sign-up for Twitter here.
If you don't have a Twitter account, you can still view all of the posters/conversations by searching #aoputc2020 on the Twitter website, but you won't be able to tweet your interact with anyone.
How do I format my poster for Twitter?
Excellent question! We've created a document here.
Posters may consist of either traditional academic posters (i.e., static images) or moving slideshows (GIFs) that work great for Twitter. It's YOUR research and we want you to be able to share it in whatever way works best for you! Please note that while moving posters (GIFs) will be considered for the best poster award (along with traditional poster images), tweets of videos or other types of visual displays will not be eligible.
Can I put this on my cv?
Absolutely!
And please see section 10.15 of the APA Manual (7th Ed.), for more information on citing content from social media. An example of how you might cite a Twitter poster is below:
​
Last name, First initial [@twitterhandle]. (2020, June 19). Title of poster/content of tweet [image attached] [Tweet]. Twitter. Link to URL
I have other questions, who do I contact?
Send questions to aoputc2020@utoronto.ca or @aoputc on Twitter
We are more than happy to help!
