I say that as a researcher too. Our intention is to be able to help the society with our discoveries! Okay, but what does visual and communication science have to do with it? Easy, I&#8217;ll get there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okay, so if our intention is to make our research reach more people, inside and outside (often) the academic world, it is important that others can understand our analyzes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WAYS TO COMMUNICATE<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we look at different ways of communicating a thesis, an article, a publication in general, we can find some ways, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">video<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">visual<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">text<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sound piece<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, especially within the academic environment, the most common is to have research being communicated in a textual form. Which may be correct, but it is often not the most efficient way to attract attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Actually one of the most effective ways to communicate science today is through the visual. That is, through images, illustrations, infographics. This is because, infographics, for example, allows us to work not only on the content but also an identification with the reader. Here are some examples of how to communicate visually:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11335 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/preview_227048.png\" alt=\"communicate science visually\" width=\"2400\" height=\"2400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/preview_227048.png 2400w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/preview_227048-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/preview_227048-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/preview_227048-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/preview_227048-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/preview_227048-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/preview_227048-2048x2048.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/><\/a> \u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11013 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/covid-19-transmission-wuhan-study-info.png\" alt=\"Coronavirus infographic\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/covid-19-transmission-wuhan-study-info.png 1200w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/covid-19-transmission-wuhan-study-info-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/covid-19-transmission-wuhan-study-info-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/covid-19-transmission-wuhan-study-info-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/covid-19-transmission-wuhan-study-info-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, we can understand that working with images within your articles and theses can help you a lot, right? In addition, this type of communication is:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more didactic; because, through images, anyone can better understand any subject raised, more easily.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">assertive; your vision will be clearer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">memorable; people will remember your construction easier.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is, when we are talking about research, theses, articles, whether for master&#8217;s students, doctoral students, undergraduate students or teachers, we need to keep in mind some facilities that can help our work. Working with visual to communicate science, is certainly a way to keep your analysis more didactic and with greater reach inside and outside the academic world.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":11414,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[66,40,958],"tags":[224,51,554,256,330,440,382,441],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Power of Visual: How to Communicate Science - Mind the Graph Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn more ways to communicate science.
