First time I’ve seen a “Graphical Abstract” like this (page one of the PDF: https://oa.mg/pdf/10.1016-j.xcrm.2022.100777.pdf https://oa.mg/pdf/10.1016-j.xcrm.20

- ik8s 4y agoDefinitely very easy to digest.
- ID1452319 4y agoBadum tss
- jvanderbot 4y agoYeah they're popping up on the few papers I read. Do you remember the post "could biologists understand the radio" or similar? These seem to be an attempt to create schematics that is in line with that criticism.
- rco8786 4y agoI wonder if there's an AI opportunity here. One that can take academic whitepapers and spit out graphical summaries.
- hedora 4y agoIt would have to be significantly better at reading papers than most journalists. I can imagine an opportunity for a small group of PhDs that vet stories from a large group of science journalists, and that work with graphics designers to produce non-misleading and scientifically accurate graphics like the abstract. I'd guess a team of 10 PhDs could keep up with the global flow of literature that makes the news. No idea how hard it is to draw those graphics though.
- rco8786 4y agoWell yes, but that is the exact opposite of AI right?
- asdff 4y agoYou see them in certain journals a lot but honestly they are rarely informative compared to the abstract, and look more like this meme: https://old.reddit.com/r/labrats/comments/vy48hu/this_is_what_most_graphical_abstracts_look_like/ https://old.reddit.com/r/labrats/comments/vy48hu/this_is_wha...
