Publication graphic
A standalone visual or cover image that introduces the research question and provides a clear path to the source.
Research communications
Graphics and content for sharing research on the web.
Custom graphics and concise, adaptable content for publications, reports, programs, and substantive research updates. The work can be developed for a website, news page, social channel, digital report, or coordinated publication package.
Research publication
Give the study a useful visual entry point.
A publication graphic or short sequence can introduce the question, findings, relevance, and source.
Website content
Keep the original research connected to the explanation.
A web feature can combine an accessible introduction, author information, publication details, and related work.
Program update
Create a coordinated set of materials.
One visual system can adapt across a website, social post, report, or program page.
Communication formats
Different formats for different parts of the research story.
Multi-post sequence
A coordinated set that can move from the research question to findings, context, and next questions.
Research story page
An accessible page that connects the study summary, researchers, original publication, disclosures, and related work.
Report and program graphics
Custom visuals for annual reports, research programs, websites, news pages, and substantive updates.
The research communications section shows four distinct formats.
The examples include a publication sequence, a standalone editorial graphic, a research story page, and a multi-post data-coverage series.

Questions
Research communications questions
What kinds of graphics can be developed?
A publication graphic, multi-post social sequence, web feature image, accessible visual summary, or coordinated graphics for a report or program update can be included.
Are these scientific figures?
No. Communications graphics introduce or explain the research for web and social audiences. They do not replace figures, data visualizations, or illustrations developed for analysis or journal submission.
Can ongoing channel management be included?
Scope can cover a defined publication, report, program, or substantive update. Ongoing channel management is estimated separately when needed.
Research communications work depends on the source material, scientific review, permissions, audience, number of formats, brand requirements, and review timeline.
