Thanks for these insights, Duncan. Very helpful.
I have a comment on the first example image, regarding contrast: using red and green is commonly discouraged since they lack any contrast for some colour-blind people. One can see how they would look at http://shorturl.at/syEMN
Thank you Angel, that is also a really important consideration.
Great piece of work Duncan!
I am positive that young researchers will benefit from its concise yet beautifully stated content.
What I can add is that they should be careful about not including data items of any type; all the content should be in a graphical form. And the font used should better be a Sans Serif (12-16) for easy reading.
Thanks again for bringing up this important topic!

Thanks very much, Ferhan! I hope the post will make the task of creating a graphical abstract less daunting for our authors, and perhaps inspire them to create something truly eye-catching!
Thank you for your important points - I agree it is definitely worth emphasising that the graphical abstract should not be recycled from the data presented in the figures, as they serve completely different purposes.
