Slide Abstract and Slide Deck Services
Pubrica prepares single-slide abstracts and full conference slide decks from your paper for researchers presenting at congresses, invited talks and internal meetings. Our scientific designers and subject specialists structure the talk to your time slot, present one idea per slide, redraw figures for projection and write speaker notes with timings. You receive an editable PowerPoint file and a PDF, built to the congress template and aspect ratio where one applies.
- Designed for projection, with type sized for the room and figures redrawn rather than copied from the PDF
- One idea per slide, because a slide with several points is difficult for an audience to follow while you are speaking
- Timed to your slot, because a ten-minute talk and a forty-minute talk need different decks rather than the same deck at different speeds
- Speaker notes included, so the slide carries the visual and you deliver the explanation
- Single-slide abstracts where a journal or congress requires one, which requires a different and more demanding approach

What Every Slide Deck Includes
Each deck is built for one paper, one audience and one time slot, and the slot determines how much the talk can cover.
Example structure38 slides for a 10-minute slot.11 slides: the question, the design, three results, the limitation, its implications and a close. About one slide per minute, which audiences can follow.
Example from a figure redrawScreenshot of Figure 3, six panels, 6pt labels.One panel per slide, labels at projection size, the key comparison highlighted and other detail removed, so the same data is legible.
Example from a reviewThe slide carries the visual and the speaker delivers the explanation. Slides that repeat the spoken text compete with the presenter.
Example from speaker notesOverrunning usually results from a deck that contains more than the slot allows, and the speaker notes are where this is corrected.
The samples shown are illustrative and anonymised. Hover over a sample to replay it.
Compliance and Standards
Slide Deck Standards: Congress Requirements and Accessibility
Where the congress specifies a template, aspect ratio or slide limit, we follow its requirements.
Congress and society requirements (template, aspect ratio, slide limits)
Most congresses publish a template, an aspect ratio and sometimes a slide limit. We build the deck to these from the start so that it does not need rebuilding later.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (level AA)
Contrast, text alternatives, captions and transcripts, which universities and funders increasingly require for any material they host.
Good Publication Practice (GPP 2022)
Where a deck presents company-sponsored research, disclosure, authorship and data presentation follow the same standards as a publication.
Quality management (cert. H3CR9TCU20251212INDQM10N)
Our certified quality system governs how work is briefed, produced, reviewed and released.
Responsible Use of AI
Our Approach to AI Use in Slide Decks
AI image generation presents a particular integrity risk in scientific figures. A generated cell, scan or apparatus that never existed is image fabrication, and journals now screen for it.
Why We Do Not Publish AI Accuracy Figures
Accuracy figures for AI tools are usually reported by the companies that sell them.
Pubrica therefore does not quote a self-generated accuracy figure, because it would carry the same conflict of interest. Instead, we tell you which tool was used on your project, at which stage, and what a human reviewer changed afterwards.
Our Process
How Our Slide Deck Process Works
We confirm the length of your time slot first, because it determines the structure and content of the deck.
Time Slot, Audience and Template
We confirm the length of your slot, the audience and any congress template or aspect ratio you must use.
Structure and Storyline
We structure the talk to the time available, deciding what is said, what is shown and what remains in the paper, and agree this with you before building any slides.
Slide Build and Figure Redraw
We build the slides, redraw figures for projection and size the type for the whole room.
Speaker Notes and Handover
We write speaker notes with approximate timings and supply the editable PowerPoint file and a PDF.
Our Experts
Your Slide Deck Team
A named team of subject specialists and scientific designers stays with your project from scoping to delivery, and your project coordinator introduces them before work begins.
Reviews the scientific content for accuracy and confirms that each conclusion is supported by the evidence. Matched to your field rather than allocated from a rota.
Designs slides and redraws figures that represent the data accurately and meet the requirements of the congress or venue.
Checks the finished work independently against the agreed scope and the applicable checklist. Findings are logged and resolved before delivery.
Manages the timeline, keeps you informed at each stage and coordinates the team so that questions are answered and deadlines are met.
Packages
Slide Abstract and Slide Deck Packages
Prices depend on slide count, the number of figures to redraw and whether a congress template applies.

Quoted per projectBased on complexity
Delivery Quoted by scope
- ✓One slide presenting the whole study
- ✓Figure redrawn or built from the data
- ✓Built to the specified template and aspect ratio
- ✓Editable file and PDF
- ✓Two revision rounds
A slide abstract requires more condensing than a deck, because one slide must present the whole study.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Slide Decks
If your question is not answered here, please ask an expert. No quote is required.
Usually not. A published figure is designed for A4 at reading distance, often with multiple panels and small labels, and most of it is illegible when projected.
We redraw figures with one panel per slide, labels at projection size and the comparison you are discussing highlighted.
Around ten to twelve, although the structure matters more than the number. About one slide per minute is what an audience can follow.
Overrunning usually happens because the deck contains more than the slot allows. Building the deck to the slot prevents this.
A single slide presenting the whole study, which some journals and congresses request alongside or instead of a written abstract.
A slide abstract requires more work than a deck, because all the content must fit legibly on one slide and still state the limitation accurately.
No. We build the deck and write the speaker notes. Delivery coaching is a separate discipline that we do not offer.
The speaker notes tell you what to say on each slide and approximately how long it should take, which helps the talk finish within its slot.
