Can you cite a conference poster?!

T

Hello... Can you cite a conference poster? I've seen conference talks cited, but not posters. Has anyone does this in their thesis/academic paper? Cheers

I cited a poster in my thesis originally, but then the paper came out that the poster related to so in the final version of my thesis I cited the paper. I think it's fine to cite a poster in your thesis, probably not so much a paper.

If abstracts/ posters are published in a journal, then fine. Otherwise, no!

Personally I'd try to email the author of the poster and ask them if they have a paper in the works, that way if you are still a while away from submitting you can cite in you thesis for now "Paper Title in Journal of Whatever forthcoming" and update it once the paper has been published.

Good tips, thanks all.
