So, let us face reality; over 7,000 scholarly publications are produced daily, and we simply do not have the time
to read them all, not even just the abstracts. Researchers are seeking quick-fixes to identify the most relevant papers based on their research interests.

Dont believe us?

“Graphical Abstracts (GAs) are becoming common in academic publishing. Many journals allow authors to submit a GA
