Q: What are graphical abstracts? Are they in addition to written ones?
I had never heard of Graphical Abstracts before. Are these in addition to written abstracts?
Yes, Graphical Abstracts, sometimes called Visual Abstracts, typically accompany a manuscript and its Abstract during the submission process. Some journals may ask for a Graphical Abstract to be produced only once the manuscript has been conditionally accepted, other journals ask for it at the time of manuscript submission. And, a few journals also produce the Graphical Abstract for the manuscript if the study is deemed as being significant in its findings.
Graphical abstracts are visual summaries of a research paper's key findings, often using images or diagrams to convey the main idea. They are typically provided in addition to written abstracts, not as a replacement. Many journals encourage their use to enhance understanding and engagement, particularly for online and social media promotion. Slope Game
