Science is now accessible beyond the traditional modes of communication. This has led to a rise in curiosity about science amongst the general public, which has been evident since the pandemic. Many scientific journals are also opting to present their science in innovative ways in order to attract and retain different categories of audiences and keep up with ongoing trends in research communication. One of the most common trends nowadays is to supplement the regular textual abstract with a graphical abstract for research papers.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These visual summaries have been shown to increase engagement with the audience and help authors and journals in disseminating information faster. And while there is enough buzz regarding the usage of graphical abstracts for research papers, there is also a lot of confusion regarding what it really entails.

You can use different formats; some graphical abstract examples include flow diagrams, visual system models, and infographics. You can choose a graphical abstract design that represents your findings most accurately depending upon the data that you wish to include.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A graphical abstract attracts more attention simply because humans are wired to respond positively to any kind of art. However, many researchers\/scientists find it difficult to let go of the technical view and let their creative juices flow freely, which makes the task of preparing a graphical abstract quite daunting. If you\u2019re in the same boat, then rest assured, there are several online tools that you can use in order to simplify this task.
