Table of Contents
A research paper presentation is often used at conferences and in other settings where you have an opportunity to share your research, and get feedback from your colleagues. Although it may seem as simple as summarizing your research and sharing your knowledge, successful research paper PowerPoint presentation examples show us that there’s a little bit more than that involved.
In this article, we’ll highlight how to make a PowerPoint presentation from a research paper, and what to include (as well as what NOT to include). We’ll also touch on how to present a research paper at a conference.
Purpose of a Research Paper Presentation
The purpose of presenting your paper at a conference or forum is different from the purpose of conducting your research and writing up your paper. In this setting, you want to highlight your work instead of including every detail of your research. Likewise, a presentation is an excellent opportunity to get direct feedback from your colleagues in the field. But, perhaps the main reason for presenting your research is to spark interest in your work, and entice the audience to read your research paper.
So, yes, your presentation should summarize your work, but it needs to do so in a way that encourages your audience to seek out your work, and share their interest in your work with others. It’s not enough just to present your research dryly, to get information out there. More important is to encourage engagement with you, your research, and your work.
Tips for Creating Your Research Paper Presentation
In addition to basic PowerPoint presentation recommendations, which we’ll cover later in this article, think about the following when you’re putting together your research paper presentation:
- Know your audience : First and foremost, who are you presenting to? Students? Experts in your field? Potential funders? Non-experts? The truth is that your audience will probably have a bit of a mix of all of the above. So, make sure you keep that in mind as you prepare your presentation.

- Your audience is human : In other words, they may be tired, they might be wondering why they’re there, and they will, at some point, be tuning out. So, take steps to help them stay interested in your presentation. You can do that by utilizing effective visuals, summarize your conclusions early, and keep your research easy to understand.
- Running outline : It’s not IF your audience will drift off, or get lost…it’s WHEN. Keep a running outline, either within the presentation or via a handout. Use visual and verbal clues to highlight where you are in the presentation.
- Where does your research fit in? You should know of work related to your research, but you don’t have to cite every example. In addition, keep references in your presentation to the end, or in the handout. Your audience is there to hear about your work.
- Plan B : Anticipate possible questions for your presentation, and prepare slides that answer those specific questions in more detail, but have them at the END of your presentation. You can then jump to them, IF needed.
What Makes a PowerPoint Presentation Effective?
You’ve probably attended a presentation where the presenter reads off of their PowerPoint outline, word for word. Or where the presentation is busy, disorganized, or includes too much information. Here are some simple tips for creating an effective PowerPoint Presentation.
- Less is more: You want to give enough information to make your audience want to read your paper. So include details, but not too many, and avoid too many formulas and technical jargon.
- Clean and professional : Avoid excessive colors, distracting backgrounds, font changes, animations, and too many words. Instead of whole paragraphs, bullet points with just a few words to summarize and highlight are best.
- Know your real-estate : Each slide has a limited amount of space. Use it wisely. Typically one, no more than two points per slide. Balance each slide visually. Utilize illustrations when needed; not extraneously.
- Keep things visual : Remember, a PowerPoint presentation is a powerful tool to present things visually. Use visual graphs over tables and scientific illustrations over long text. Keep your visuals clean and professional, just like any text you include in your presentation.

Another key to an effective presentation is to practice, practice, and then practice some more. When you’re done with your PowerPoint, go through it with friends and colleagues to see if you need to add (or delete excessive) information. Double and triple check for typos and errors. Know the presentation inside and out, so when you’re in front of your audience, you’ll feel confident and comfortable.
How to Present a Research Paper
If your PowerPoint presentation is solid, and you’ve practiced your presentation, that’s half the battle. Follow the basic advice to keep your audience engaged and interested by making eye contact, encouraging questions, and presenting your information with enthusiasm.

How to Make a Successful Research Presentation
Turning a research paper into a visual presentation is difficult; there are pitfalls, and navigating the path to a brief, informative presentation takes time and practice. As a TA for GEO/WRI 201: Methods in Data Analysis & Scientific Writing this past fall, I saw how this process works from an instructor’s standpoint. I’ve presented my own research before, but helping others present theirs taught me a bit more about the process. Here are some tips I learned that may help you with your next research presentation:
More is more
In general, your presentation will always benefit from more practice, more feedback, and more revision. By practicing in front of friends, you can get comfortable with presenting your work while receiving feedback. It is hard to know how to revise your presentation if you never practice. If you are presenting to a general audience, getting feedback from someone outside of your discipline is crucial. Terms and ideas that seem intuitive to you may be completely foreign to someone else, and your well-crafted presentation could fall flat.
Less is more
Limit the scope of your presentation, the number of slides, and the text on each slide. In my experience, text works well for organizing slides, orienting the audience to key terms, and annotating important figures–not for explaining complex ideas. Having fewer slides is usually better as well. In general, about one slide per minute of presentation is an appropriate budget. Too many slides is usually a sign that your topic is too broad.
Limit the scope of your presentation
Don’t present your paper. Presentations are usually around 10 min long. You will not have time to explain all of the research you did in a semester (or a year!) in such a short span of time. Instead, focus on the highlight(s). Identify a single compelling research question which your work addressed, and craft a succinct but complete narrative around it.
You will not have time to explain all of the research you did. Instead, focus on the highlights. Identify a single compelling research question which your work addressed, and craft a succinct but complete narrative around it.
Craft a compelling research narrative
After identifying the focused research question, walk your audience through your research as if it were a story. Presentations with strong narrative arcs are clear, captivating, and compelling.
- Introduction (exposition — rising action)
Orient the audience and draw them in by demonstrating the relevance and importance of your research story with strong global motive. Provide them with the necessary vocabulary and background knowledge to understand the plot of your story. Introduce the key studies (characters) relevant in your story and build tension and conflict with scholarly and data motive. By the end of your introduction, your audience should clearly understand your research question and be dying to know how you resolve the tension built through motive.
- Methods (rising action)
The methods section should transition smoothly and logically from the introduction. Beware of presenting your methods in a boring, arc-killing, ‘this is what I did.’ Focus on the details that set your story apart from the stories other people have already told. Keep the audience interested by clearly motivating your decisions based on your original research question or the tension built in your introduction.
- Results (climax)
Less is usually more here. Only present results which are clearly related to the focused research question you are presenting. Make sure you explain the results clearly so that your audience understands what your research found. This is the peak of tension in your narrative arc, so don’t undercut it by quickly clicking through to your discussion.
- Discussion (falling action)
By now your audience should be dying for a satisfying resolution. Here is where you contextualize your results and begin resolving the tension between past research. Be thorough. If you have too many conflicts left unresolved, or you don’t have enough time to present all of the resolutions, you probably need to further narrow the scope of your presentation.
- Conclusion (denouement)
Return back to your initial research question and motive, resolving any final conflicts and tying up loose ends. Leave the audience with a clear resolution of your focus research question, and use unresolved tension to set up potential sequels (i.e. further research).
Use your medium to enhance the narrative
Visual presentations should be dominated by clear, intentional graphics. Subtle animation in key moments (usually during the results or discussion) can add drama to the narrative arc and make conflict resolutions more satisfying. You are narrating a story written in images, videos, cartoons, and graphs. While your paper is mostly text, with graphics to highlight crucial points, your slides should be the opposite. Adapting to the new medium may require you to create or acquire far more graphics than you included in your paper, but it is necessary to create an engaging presentation.
The most important thing you can do for your presentation is to practice and revise. Bother your friends, your roommates, TAs–anybody who will sit down and listen to your work. Beyond that, think about presentations you have found compelling and try to incorporate some of those elements into your own. Remember you want your work to be comprehensible; you aren’t creating experts in 10 minutes. Above all, try to stay passionate about what you did and why. You put the time in, so show your audience that it’s worth it.

Making a presentation from your research proposal
In theory, it couldn’t be easier to take your written research proposal and turn it into a presentation. Many people find presenting ideas easier than writing about them as writing is inherently difficult. On the other hand, standing up in front of a room of strangers, or worse those you know, is also a bewildering task. Essentially, you have a story to tell, but does not mean you are story telling. It means that your presentation will require you to talk continuously for your alloted period of time, and that the sentences must follow on from each other in a logical narative; i.e. a story.
So where do you start?
Here are some simple rules to help guide you to build your presentation:
- One slide per minute: However many minutes you have to present, that’s your total number of slides. Don’t be tempted to slip in more.
- Keep the format clear: There are lots of templates available to use, but you’d do best to keep your presentation very clean and simple.
- Be careful with animations: You can build your slide with animations (by adding images, words or graphics). But do not flash, bounce, rotate or roll. No animated little clipart characters. No goofy cartoons – they’ll be too small for the audience to read. No sounds (unless you are talking about sounds). Your audience has seen it all before, and that’s not what they’ve come for. They have come to hear about your research proposal.
- Don’t be a comedian: Everyone appreciates that occasional light-hearted comment, but it is not stand-up. If you feel that you must make a joke, make only one and be ready to push on when no-one reacts. Sarcasm simply won’t be understood by the majority of your audience, so don’t bother: unless you’re a witless Brit who can’t string three or more sentences together without.
Keep to your written proposal formula
- You need a title slide (with your name, that of your advisor & institution)
- that put your study into the big picture
- explain variables in the context of existing literature
- explain the relevance of your study organisms
- give the context of your own study
- Your aims & hypotheses
- Images of apparatus or diagrams of how apparatus are supposed to work. If you can’t find anything, draw it simply yourself.
- Your methods can be abbreviated. For example, you can tell the audience that you will measure your organism, but you don’t need to provide a slide of the callipers or balance (unless these are the major measurements you need).
- Analyses are important. Make sure that you understand how they work, otherwise you won’t be able to present them to others. Importantly, explain where each of the variables that you introduced, and explained how to measure, fit into the analyses. There shouldn’t be anything new or unexpected that pops up here.
- I like to see what the results might look like, even if you have to draw graphs with your own lines on it. Use arrows to show predictions under different assumptions.
Slide layout
- Your aim is to have your audience listen to you, and only look at the slides when you indicate their relevance.
- You’d be better off having a presentation without words, then your audience will listen instead of trying to read. As long as they are reading, they aren't listening. Really try to limit the words you have on any single slide (<30). Don’t have full sentences, but write just enough to remind you of what to say and so that your audience can follow when you are moving from point to point.
- Use bullet pointed lists if you have several points to make (Font 28 pt)
- If you only have words on a slide, then add a picture that will help illustrate your point. This is especially useful to illustrate your organism. At the same time, don’t have anything on a slide that has no meaning or relevance. Make sure that any illustration is large enough for your audience to see and understand what it is that you are trying to show.
- Everything on your slide must be mentioned in your presentation, so remove anything that becomes irrelevant to your story when you practice.
- Tables: you are unlikely to have large complex tables in a presentation, but presenting raw data or small words in a table is a way to lose your audience. Make your point in another way.
- Use citations (these can go in smaller font 20 pt). I like to cut out the title & authors of the paper from the pdf and show it on the slide.
- If you can, have some banner that states where you are in your presentation (e.g. Methods, or 5 of 13). It helps members of the audience who might have been daydreaming.
Practice, practice, practice
- It can’t be said enough that you must practice your presentation. Do it in front of a mirror in your bathroom. In front of your friends. It's the best way of making sure you'll do a good job.
- If you can't remember what you need to say, write flash cards with prompts. Include the text on your slide and expand. When you learn what’s on the cards, relate it to what’s on the slide so that you can look at the slides and get enough hints on what to say. Don’t bring flashcards with you to your talk. Instead be confident enough that you know them front to back and back to front.
- Practice with a pointer and slide advancer (or whatever you will use in the presentation). You should be pointing out to your audience what you have on your slides; use the pointer to do this.
- Avoid taking anything with you that you might fiddle with.
Maybe I've got it all wrong?
There are some things that I still need to learn about presentations. Have a look at the following video and see what you think. There are some really good points made here, and I think I should update my example slides to reflect these ideas. I especially like the use of contrast to focus attention.

Content of this Powerpoint Presentation
If you’ve drafted a research proposal, you must be aware of the rigor and effort required. Sleepless nights, struggles to find inspiration, and living off caffeine for days.
For students, researchers, and writers, drafting a research proposal from scratch is intimidating. To complete their professional degrees or to get funded for sponsored research projects, these proposals are crucial.
A research proposal is a detailed plan outlining the objectives, methodology, and expected outcomes of a research project. Typically, researchers, academics, or graduate students write these to seek funding or approval to conduct their research. Research proposals serve to communicate the significance of the study, demonstrate the feasibility of the research plan, and secure resources or institutional support. They are essential for gaining funding, academic approval, or collaboration opportunities for research endeavors.
The primary audience of these research proposals are academic advisors, instructors, funding agencies or institutions. Therefore, the proposal should be tailored to an academic audience with expertise in the relevant field of study.
With industry experts reviewing your proposal, you wouldn't wanna miss a chance to impress them. SlideTeam experts have prepared an Academic Proposal Template to help you with laying a strong foundation for your research paper. The 100% customizable nature of the template provides you with the desired flexibility to edit your presentations. The content-ready slides give you a structure to get started.
Template 1: Abstract
This PPT Template allows you to prepare the foundation for your research proposal. Compile your opening thoughts in the slide. The purpose section of the research project will highlight the intent and aim. Use the design methodology to list the approaches that you plan to use while carrying out the research. Write down the factors and variables in which the findings will be compiled. In the last column, originality/value, write the sources of data, a brief of references and credits.
Template 2: Introduction
This Slide helps you to give your readers an overview of your research project. Start off by giving a broad picture of your research hypothesis in the first column. In one line mention your research question, this is the core idea of your work. The general description will include the brief elements of your argument and sources of evidence. The final words are the closing ideas, quantitative and qualitative results, and the research conclusion. You can insert information into each section in bullet points for enhanced clarity.
Template 3: Thesis Statement
A thesis statement summarizes the central argument of an essay or research paper. Be sure to include the topic of discussion, your position or claim on the topic, the supporting evidence or reasoning, and the scope or parameters of the argument in the PPT Layout. This statement slide will serve as a roadmap for the reader, guiding them through the main points and focus of your research paper. Write a concise statement to capture the reader's attention.
Template 4: Methods or Approach
When it comes to conducting thorough research, it's crucial to have a unique and detailed approach. The research method is a strategic plan that outlines specific techniques and procedures to gather, analyze, and interpret data. This layout helps you plan your research approach or methods you will adopt, like surveys, questionnaires, interviews, case studies, and observations. As this data is crucial for the proposal you should follow a systematic approach towards gathering data, and use this PPT Template to do it well.
Template 5: Preliminary Discussion and Results
The template compiles information on two areas; the preliminary discussion and the results. The former section focuses on outlining the research conducted, including the hypothesis being tested. Whereas the next section can be used to present the findings of the research, including both positive and negative outcomes. This template offers a clear and concise way to communicate research progress and findings. You can present up to four key ideas.
Template 6: Work Plan With Timetable Template with Activities and Month
Before writing your research proposal, it is vital to map out an action plan on how to stay on track and build a strong foundation. With this Work Plan PPT Template, you can use the chart to map out activities like the acceptance of the research proposal, connecting with locals in the study area, developing research tools, sample selection, data collection, report writing etc. Use the arrows provided in the slide to mark the tentative time span and the month in which the action will take place. Plan your monthly, weekly, or daily activities with the table provided.
Template 7: Work Plan Timetable Template with Weekly Activities
This PPT Deck offers you multiple formats to prepare a work plan timetable. This Gantt Chart Template enables you to present your action plan in a clear and concise manner. You can list down all the steps involved in drafting your research proposal. You can use the format to make a weekly or a monthly work plan. Based on this chart, you can prepare detailed action plans and manage your resources.
Template 8: Work Plan Timetable Template with Seven Stages and Time Frame
Use this slide to prepare a workplan in a tabular format. Categorize activities involved in preparing a research proposal into stages. Write a brief description of each stage in the second column of the table. Use the column provided in the slide to mention the tentative time frame of the stage. This will showcase your readiness and commitment towards the research project to your academic advisors or funding agents.
Template 9: Implication of Research
