| Research Abstract |
Our survey has revealed five important findings:
1) many Japanese scientists think that excellent figures, slides andposters shown at scientific meetings and journal articles, can help audiences or readers to understand difficult andterminological scientific issues
2) most of them are not satisfied with their design and illustration skills in preparingthese visual materials
3) they show a strong desire to improve their skills
4) many scientists used MicrosoftPowerPoint software as a tool for visual materials, and
5) they do not have good guides or references to improve their skills.
Based on these results, we made “Visual Design Handbook for Scientists” and distributed to hundreds of scientists.
