It should be relevant to the topic covered and serve to attract readers' attention to the article. The graphical abstract image may be one of the images included in the article or any other image the authors feel to be appropriate. Authors should ensure the graphical abstract image is original or they have the permission to reproduce the image if it's taken from previously published works not in the public domain.
