Attract readers with a graphical abstract - The latest clickbait

Madhan Jeyaraman et al. J Orthop. .

Abstract

Graphical abstract (GA) is the pictorial presentation of key findings of the manuscript which make the readers and viewers understand the highlights of the manuscript. The adoption of GA in the journal improves manuscript's visibility and journal's citations in the subsequent years. There are various challenges faced by the author and editorial team to incorporate GA in the journal. Infographics play a major role as a resource for creating an effective GA. The GA helps in promoting and propagating scientific research among scholarly peers in the community for inter-country collaborations through various social media.

Keywords: Graphical abstract; Infographics; Research.
