Figures are an essential part of the scientific paper. Scientists often learn how to create figures by trial and error. A scientist, a graphic designer, and a cognitive psychologist have teamed up to write a brief guide to ease this process. This guide, aimed at researchers in scientific fields, provides an easy‐to‐follow set of instructions to design effective figures.
