Every researcher knows the pain: you have a dense, data-rich paper and forty-eight hours until the conference poster deadline. Translating findings into clean visuals usually means wrestling with design tools you barely know. The Research Infographic workflow eliminates that detour entirely — paste a citation, and get a finished visual back.

What You'll Create

A fully designed, source-linked infographic — exported as high-resolution PNG, scalable SVG, or print-ready PDF — built directly from your research data.

How the Workflow Runs

1. Intake

Provide a citation, DOI, or plain-language topic. Optionally attach raw datasets or a brand color palette to keep the output on-identity.

2. Research

The engine pulls and parses the source material — extracting key statistics, relationships, and findings. A DOI resolves to the full paper automatically.

3. Design

Layout and chart types are selected based on data structure. Comparisons get bar charts, chronological data gets timelines, processes get flow diagrams. Nothing is templated — every visual is composed for the specific dataset.

4. Render

The infographic is generated at publication resolution. Brand colors are applied if you provided a palette; otherwise, a clean default scheme is used.

5. Artifact

Your finished infographic is ready to download. Every data point links back to the original source, so your audience can verify any claim on the graphic.
