Journal Cover Image Design to Showcase your research with an eye-catching image

Your Journal Cover Image Design can help increase the readership of your article by drawing readers in with an eye-catching image. Our graphic designers create a visual that reflects your research, formatted for journal cover placement.

We offer both two- and three-dimensional designs to present your research with the most engaging illustration possible.

Standard Journal Cover Design includes a two-dimensional image and one round of design review.

Advanced Journal Cover Design includes a custom three-dimensional illustration and additional collaboration with the design team to review an initial sketch, as well as the final design.

Some journals require a specific art style. We recommend checking the author guidelines and previous cover images of your accepting journal to help select the best option for your Cover Image Design.

Once your Cover Image Design is complete, you can submit it to your accepting journal for consideration as a cover image. If your article is accepted by a Wiley journal, you can find the submission process on our Cover Image page of Author Services. Please note that while your Cover Image Design is very likely to be accepted for the journal cover, image selection decisions follow an approval process, and we cannot guarantee selection. Additional fees may apply. Please see here for more information.

Journals that accept cover image submissions often specify this in their author guidelines and acceptance letters. If the journal doesn’t mention cover image submissions in their guidelines or acceptance letters, you can contact the journal directly to inquire about this option. If you have submitted to a Wiley journal, you can find participating journals on our Cover Image page of Author Services.

If your accepting journal doesn’t consider cover images, we have a suite of Article Promotion services available, including an Infographic Creation service that summarizes your research at a glance.

You can provide us with your original image file or an image idea, and our designers create your Cover Image Design that you can submit to the journal for consideration as a cover image. The final file you receive is a high-resolution file formatted to the cover image guidelines of your chosen journal.
