Frequently Asked Questions

01
What is graphical abstract?
A graphical abstract is an image summarizing the paper's abstract, aiding audience comprehension through visual representation. With their increasing popularity, numerous publishers and high impact factor journals now demand graphical abstracts. You might be asked to provide a visual abstract when you try to submit your paper.
02
Why is my journal asking for a graphical abstract?
Graphical abstracts can succinctly convey research highlights. Graphical abstracts enhance reader engagement, boost article visibility, and facilitate broader understanding of complex findings, aligning with modern communication preferences. Vision accounts for 87% of the 5 human senses, and color accounts for 60% of vision!
03
What will I have to provide?
You will need to provide your manuscript, target journal details, and some basic information about your paper so that we can stay true to the message of your research when we create the graphical abstract. It would also be great if you could provide a reference sketch of what type of layout or design you want.
04
What is the rough sketch in graphical abstract?
A sketch is used to provide an idea of what the layout and style of the 3D graphical abstract might be. We can use this sketch to get your feedback and ensure that the first draft matches your vision. If you provide us with a sketch, the time required for either service will be reduced by 2 working days.
05
What if I am not happy with the final version of graphical abstract design or visual abstract?
Here at Editage, your satisfaction and publication success are our top priorities. Please rest assured that we will continue working with you till you are satisfied with the graphical abstract provided.
06
What are the components of a visual abstract?
A visual abstract usually consists of four main elements: a title, an image, a brief summary of the research findings, and a call to action. The title should be brief and catchy because the first impression is the best impression, while the image should be visually pleasing and should capture the central research topic. The summary should be concise and highlight the key findings of the study, and the call to action should encourage readers to engage with the original research article.
07
What are the types of visual abstracts?
1. Infographic-style abstracts: These abstracts combine different elements—text, graphics, and data visualizations, such as charts.
2. Image-based abstracts: In these abstracts, the key findings or concepts are conveyed through a single image or a collection of photos. These can be especially useful for research that includes visual components, such as microscopy or medical imaging.
3. Animated abstracts: These abstracts communicate important findings and concepts using animation or videos. These are used for research involving intricate mechanics or processes as these topics can be explained well through animated videos rather than conventional ones.
4. Interactive abstracts: These abstracts are mainly used in research that involves a lot of data. They give viewers the option to interact with the visual components, such as zooming in on particular data points or viewing various diagrams by clicking on or hovering the cursor above the visual abstract.
08
What are the differences between graphical abstracts and infographics?
The difference between these formats is minor, yet they exist. A graphical abstract is used to present the conclusions and most important findings of a research. While an infographic is intended to give a larger narrative, it is also intended to visually tell a story about the data. However, this is not the main difference between the two. The key distinction is that a graphical abstract contains little or no text, whereas an infographic inherently contains more textual material.
09
How are graphical abstracts effective in academic communication?
Your graphical abstract is akin to a movie poster, albeit with a plot reveal! How is this effective in academic communication:
1. Graphical abstracts improve accessibility - Graphical abstracts allow a wider and more diverse audience to appreciate complex research. Researchers from different disciplines, students, the general public, and policy makers can access and understand the latest research across various fields.
2. Graphical abstracts are suitable for dissemination on social media - In a time when “less is more,” these bite-sized elements are perfectly positioned to be widely shared and reshared on social media. It is a powerful tool for science communication, increasing the visibility and impact of the research.
3. Graphical abstracts are amenable to image searches - Visual abstracts are captured by the image search function of search engines. This helps increase the reach of the research as it is no longer restricted to searchability by textual searches.
