Illustrated review articles, rooted in scientific rigor, are made up of "capsules" or panels of visuals that together provide an up-to-date overview of a topic. Illustrated reviews aim to provide a more accessible format than traditional written reviews to facilitate more effective knowledge translation and dissemination. However, the novelty of this format can dissuade prospective authors due to uncertainty and lack of comfort. To remedy this uncertainty, we have summarized the journey of developing an illustrated review, from identifying an appropriate topic to submitting the final manuscript for peer review. We highlight the importance of approaching an illustrated review from a storytelling perspective, and encouraging authors to keep their audience in mind when picking a theme or characters. We provide storyboard considerations and simplify graphic design principles to develop an outline and line draft for the illustrated review. We list programs available to authors to demystify creating attractive and engaging scientific visuals. Finally, we provide information on choosing colors or fonts and where to find copyright-free icons, graphics, illustrations, and pictures. This review provides prospective authors with the knowledge, tools, and resources to create an effective illustrated review article.

基于科学严谨性的图文并茂的综述文章，由“模块”或视觉板块组成，这些板块共同提供某一主题的最新概述。图文并茂的综述旨在提供一种比传统书面综述更容易理解的形式，以促进更有效的知识转化和传播。然而，由于不确定性和不熟悉，这种形式的新颖性可能会使潜在作者望而却步。为了消除这种不确定性，我们总结了撰写一篇图文并茂的综述的过程，从确定合适的主题到提交最终稿件以供同行评审。我们强调从讲故事的角度撰写图文并茂的综述的重要性，并鼓励作者在选择主题或角色时考虑受众。我们提供了故事板设计的注意事项，并简化了平面设计原则，以便为图文并茂的综述制定大纲和草图。我们列出了可供作者使用的程序，以揭开创建有吸引力且引人入胜的科学视觉效果的神秘面纱。最后，我们提供了关于选择颜色或字体以及从何处获取无版权图标、图形、插图和图片的信息。这篇综述为潜在作者提供了创作一篇有效的图文并茂的综述文章所需的知识、工具和资源。如果文档中嵌入的链接有问题，请下载完整的PDF文件。
