Identify the Main Message<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The\u00a0graphical abstract mut\u00a0rouse\u00a0the curiosity of readers sufficiently to make them want to read your research paper! But that\u00a0does not mean that your graphical abstract should be incomplete. It must stand alone,\u00a0independent of the research paper,\u00a0and summarize the\u00a0key findings and\u00a0study\u00a0implication completely\u00a0without leaving the readers half-informed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So, before you begin sketching, think of what your research is trying to convey. The main message or the take-home message should ideally be what you want your readers to\u00a0retain\u00a0after they have viewed your graphical abstract.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For instance, what was one significant finding that stood out from the rest?\u00a0What unique approach helped you prove your hypothesis?\u00a0Identify\u00a0that one feature\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0worth highlighting in your visual abstract.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Choose Visuals Representing the Problem\/Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Your choice of visuals\u00a0should match your research.\u00a0Take a look at this\u00a0example\u00a0graphical abstract.\u00a0The illustrations highlight the problems faced\u00a0when a person tries to reduce screen time. The impact over time is represented through suitable emotions being expressed.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <span class=\"SCXW138739539 BCX0\"><span class=\"WACImageContainer NoPadding BlobObject SCXW138739539 BCX0\" role=\"presentation\"><span class=\"WACImage SCXW138739539 BCX0\">\u200b<\/span><\/span><\/span><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47784\" src=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/screen-addition-ga.jpg\" alt=\"Graphical abstract example\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/screen-addition-ga.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/screen-addition-ga-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/screen-addition-ga-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/screen-addition-ga-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Likewise, your\u00a0graphical abstract\u00a0must use specific icons and illustrations depending on the research topic and the subject area.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Maintain Visual Hierarchy<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Graphical abstracts can flow either from top\u00a0to\u00a0bottom or from left to right\u00a0(like in the above example visual abstract). It can also be circular\u00a0or a rectangular flowchart type depiction, especially if your study\u00a0needs to\u00a0represent\u00a0a cyclical process.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Regardless,\u00a0maintain\u00a0a good\u00a0visual hierarchy in your images.\u00a0Remain consistent in\u00a0what\u2019s\u00a0represented in the graphical abstract to ensure continuity of the visual story.\u00a0For\u00a0example,\u00a0in the above image, it would look odd\u00a0if the icon\u00a0for the human representation\u00a0had altered between male and female\u00a0in each\u00a0panel, wouldn\u2019t it?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Avoid Excessive Data<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Graphical\u00a0abstracts\u00a0are meant to capture the reader\u2019s attention\u00a0primarily\u00a0through visuals. So,\u00a0cluttering\u00a0it with excessive\u00a0text or numerical data will not serve the purpose.\u00a0Some amount of textual information should be provided without overwhelming the reader. If\u00a0representing\u00a0numerical data is key to understanding\u00a0the message\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0trying to convey, use them\u00a0marginally.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Want\u00a0to look at more examples?\u00a0We share some\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/graphical-abstract-examples-ideas-to-help-you-create-a-visual-abstract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">ideas to help you create a visual\u00a0abstract here<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5. Add Short Labels Where Needed<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Your icons and illustrations, however specific,\u00a0must be clearly labeled wherever necessary.\u00a0Use short headings and\u00a0brief points to draw the attention of readers to\u00a0certain crucial\u00a0aspects\u00a0in\u00a0the graphical abstract.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>6. Choose the Right Colors and Fonts<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The color palette in graphical abstracts must be easy on the eyes;\u00a0not too jarring, not too\u00a0pale.\u00a0Just right\u00a0to be able to create distinction between\u00a0significant changes, if needed,\u00a0without overpowering the intended visual impact.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:2,&quot;335551620&quot;:2}\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47783\" src=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sample-ga-green.jpg\" alt=\"Sample graphical abstract with correct color combination\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sample-ga-green.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sample-ga-green-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sample-ga-green-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sample-ga-green-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sample\u00a0graphical abstract template 1<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:2,&quot;335551620&quot;:2}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:2,&quot;335551620&quot;:2}\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-47782\" src=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sample-ga-red.jpg\" alt=\"Sample graphical abstract template with wrong color and layout\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sample-ga-red.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sample-ga-red-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sample-ga-red-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/sample-ga-red-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sample\u00a0graphical abstract template 2<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:2,&quot;335551620&quot;:2}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Here\u2019s\u00a0an example comparing a\u00a0sample\u00a0visual template with differing color palettes.\u00a0While the first one helps notice the\u00a0important features\u00a0easily, the second one appears\u00a0slightly\u00a0unpleasant\u00a0and the\u00a0font color clashes\u00a0with the dark background.\u00a0Same figure, different representations.

Use High-Quality Icons and Images<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Graphical abstracts are likely to be shared and reshared online on multiple platforms. In whatever format\u00a0you wish to upload, share, and publish it, clarity of the image becomes key.\u00a0The icons and illustrations used within the graphical abstract\u00a0must be of high quality. Even if the dimensions of the visual abstract are\u00a0modified\u00a0to make them suitable for various social media platforms, it should not compromise the quality of the image.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>8. Keep Figures Easy to Read<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Information retention happens better with visuals.\u00a0But only if the figures are easy to read! Follow specific\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/a-complete-guide-to-graphical-abstract-templates-and-their-types\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">templates and layouts<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0that are\u00a0simple to understand at a glance.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>9.
