Journal Graphical Abstract Specifications

Compare graphical abstract dimensions, DPI, color space, and formats from official publisher and journal pages. Portfolio-wide values that are not stated remain explicitly marked.

Technical image specifications and permission to use AI images are separate checks. Follow your exact journal’s current author guidelines; Abfig’s size presets do not establish AI-image permission.

Methodology, maintenance, and corrections

This reference contains 15 journal or publisher records compiled from first-party publisher and journal pages. We record only explicit technical facts, leave missing portfolio-level values marked as journal-specific or not specified, and recheck sources at least every 90 days. A journal-specific instruction takes priority.

Abfig creates an AI draft for author review. Authors remain responsible for scientific accuracy, rights and licensing, disclosure, and submission rules. Anonymous generation data follows Abfig's documented 7-day retention lifecycle; free previews are 1000 px and watermarked. No publisher listed here endorses Abfig.

The Abfig compilation and original metadata are licensed under CC BY 4.0. Publisher content and linked third-party materials are excluded and remain subject to their respective rights.
