Mathematica Graph Plotting for Scientific Papers

TL;DR Summary

What plot options do you guys use?

Hey guys, so recently I've been trying to use mathematica to plot graphs for my scientific papers, and I've been starting to wonder - what plot options do you guys use?

How do you plot your graphs in mathematica such that they look presentable in a scientific paper?

It depends a lot on the kind of plot. The important things are that the plot most be readable and informative.

What options do you use to make a simple line plot look good?

I use Frame and FrameLabel, for labeling my axes rather than AxesLabel. I also find that the font size is usually too small by default so I typically increase that.
