A Brief Guide to Designing Effective Figures for the Scientific Paper

Abstract

Figures are an essential part of the scientific paper. Scientists often learn how to create figures by trial and error. A scientist, a graphic designer, and a cognitive psychologist have teamed up to write a brief guide to ease this process. This guide, aimed at researchers in scientific fields, provides an easy-to-follow set of instructions to design effective figures.
