Create a written article pertaining to the poster project using professional language. If your poster presentation was oral and not written, this first step will be crucial. This step requires that you write in clear and organized style. If your presentation is already in paper format, be sure to edit the paper carefully.
Research journals to which you would like to submit your poster presentation. Each journal has different rules for how material should be submitted. The Journal of Advanced Nursing, for example, asks you to sign up for an electronic account, while the American Journal of Nursing has clear and strict submission guidelines.
Format the poster presentation according to the guidelines. Often they will ask that you format your references in APA style. This formatting will include any type of visual such as a poster or an image. This may require you to scan any images that are not in electronic format already.
Submit the presentation in the format requested following all deadlines and requests. These will be different for each journal. Journals may take a while to accept or reject the poster presentation once it has been submitted. Often the paper will be reviewed by a panel of professionals who will decide its value for the nursing journal.
