Comparing Holistic and Mixed-Approach Rubrics for Academic Poster Quality.

Objective: Poster-quality at academic conferences has varied. Further, the few poster-quality rubrics in the literature have limited psychometric evidence. Thus, we compared holistic versus mixed-approach scoring using a recently-created poster-rubric, by multiple raters, for validation evidence and time-to-score utility.

Comparing Analytic and Mixed-Approach Rubrics for Academic Poster Quality.

Objective: Although there has been great interest in rubrics in recent decades, there are different types (with different advantages and disadvantages). Here, we examined and compared the use of analytic rubrics (AR) and mixed-approach rubric (MAR) types to assess the quality of research posters at an academic conference.

Methods: A previous systematic review identified 12 rubrics.
