Graphical Abstract & One-sentence Summary

FEMS uses Graphical Abstracts to promote articles via email content, social media, newsletters and online search results. Below are examples you can use for preparing your own graphical abstract or one-sentence summary when you are submitting your article.

Graphical Abstract
Image which is not necessarily linked to the original manuscript, but either summarizes the text, fits to the text and is very appealing or is one of the key images/ figures/ graphs of the article.

Please ensure you:

  • avoid saturated and distracting colours
  • image resolution should be a minimum of 300dpi and the aspect ratio should be 4:3 to make sure that your image is optimized in our ‘click and expand’ feature
One-sentence Summary
Short non-technical summary stating the novelty of the article. The language used should be understood by a non-specialist.

Please ensure you:

  • use the third person, not first person (i.e. do not use ‘I’ or ‘we’)
  • keep it simple
  • short legible text
