This looks very similar to the popular conference/workshop poster presentation format. Many disciplines have these sessions at meetings where authors display an A0/A1 poster summary of the paper and discuss it with attendees who wander around the room with a list of posters like art-gallery visitors. It can be very effective, with crowds around interesting posters and some debate. Often the visitors have a glass of wine in hand. In any case the posters look just like the posted page, though this is a very elegant example.
The authors don't mention the existence poster format, but it is clearly very closely related. Notice how politely I put that.
To see how common this is, Google for "conference poster" images. Many of the results returned are ugly and overdone - the idea is often executed poorly.
- scott_s 14y agoConference posters are not considered a "real" publication, and the ones that I have seen are not as carefully designed as this example.
- robotresearcher 14y agoSurely, indeed I made your second point in my comment. Some posters are beautiful, most are not. My complaint about the OP is that it doesn't acknowledge the existence of posters, which are in exactly the format presented.
- scott_s 14y agoThen I did not get my point across well: I have never seen a poster in any approximation of the form the author presented. Hence, I find it reasonable that he did not mention them, because he likely has also never seen them.
