To do this, it is necessary to distinguish what a scientific poster represents in comparison to other mediums of scholarly communication. Hence, this study analyzes whether or not academic posters are cited. It is remarkable that another traditional means of scholarly communication, the academic poster, barely gets any attention when it comes to scientometric analysis ( Rowe 2017a).

Recently, the research about the impact of research software and research data has seen some growth. The output that is analyzed in scientometric analysis oftentimes consists of conventional publication types like academic articles, monographs or papers in conference proceedings. A limitation in this study however is that the impact of academic posters was not measured empirical but rather descriptive. Citations could only be found for 1% of the posters in our dataset. Our data-driven analysis reveals that posters are rarely cited. Primarily, we want to know to what extent scientific posters are being cited and thereby which impact posters potentially have on the scholarly landscape and especially on academic publications. Citation data was taken from DataCite, Crossref and Dimensions. The study takes into account the years 2016–2020 according to the dates of publication on the platforms. We present a small case study on citations of conference posters using poster collections from both Figshare and Zenodo. 3Faculty of Media, Information and Design, University of Applied Sciences and Arts Hannover, Hannover, Germany.2TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology, Hannover, Germany.1Faculty 4: Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Economics and Computer Science, University of Hildesheim, Hildesheim, Germany.Nick Haupka 1,2,3*, Cäcilia Schröer 2,3 and Christian Hauschke 2
