Do something different!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>All scientific papers look the same when piled up. If you want to get published, you need to make your research catch everyone&#8217;s attention. You need to do something different.<\/p>\n<p>Scientific journals often have many detailed rules on how to fit a paper to an especific format. However, you don&#8217;t need to break the journal rules in order to get their attention.<\/p>\n<h3>Where do I start?<\/h3>\n<p>One of the first things we do when starting to read a paper is to look for figures and graphs. We try to take as much information as we can from fast sources of data. This behaviour is not always conscious. It is a simple attempt to save time by understanding faster what something is about.<\/p>\n<p>That means we usually have only a few seconds to convince someone that our work is worth reading. If figures and graphs are what catches the readers attention, than let&#8217;s work on them a little bit harder!<\/p>\n<h3>Want to see if it works?<\/h3>\n<p>One of our Premium user, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Rafael_Dutra2\">Dr. Rafael Dutra<\/a>, recently published a paper entitled &#8220;Physical exercise attenuates experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis by inhibiting Peripheral Immune response and Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Rafael_Dutra2\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6075 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/paper-rafael-dutra-1024x533.jpg\" alt=\"want to get published? do something different\" width=\"640\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/paper-rafael-dutra-1024x533.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/paper-rafael-dutra-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/paper-rafael-dutra-768x400.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/paper-rafael-dutra.jpg 1078w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It is no surprise to say that this paper is a little bit complex and scientists outside the Immunology field could find it a bit difficult to comprehend.

If the reader is short on time and needs an easy way to see if your work is relevant or not for she or he, they will look for a graphical abstract.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Rafael_Dutra2\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6076 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/rafael-dutra-graphical-abstract-1024x679.jpg\" alt=\"want to get published? do something different\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/rafael-dutra-graphical-abstract-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/rafael-dutra-graphical-abstract-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/rafael-dutra-graphical-abstract-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/rafael-dutra-graphical-abstract.jpg 1231w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In addition, a graphical abstract shows the domain you have on your research.
