At Research Figures we firmly believe that a great research image presents information in a clear manner, following a logical pattern or flow that instills a sense of consistency, familiarity, and authenticity for the viewer. Therefore, we are deeply committed to understanding the research behind each image and ensuring that every illustration complements your written work. We take great pleasure in working closely with clients and colleagues, as we believe a collaborative approach yields the best results in science communication, significantly enhancing the narrative of your research, facilitating learning and stimulating reflection on the subject matter.

The interdisciplinary nature of our past and present projects has enabled us to create a diverse range of graphics across various research domains. These include geology, geochemistry, forensic science, oceanography, biological anthropology, physical geography, genetics, ancient DNA, and vegetation science, among others. Notably, our graphics have been published in prestigious international journals, such as Science.
 

We are proficient in an array of vector and raster graphics software packages (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite, Inkscape, Sketchup) and 3D processing programs (e.g., Geomagic, Meshlab, CloudCompare, Avizo, VisualSFM, Blender). We are skilled in illustration, image manipulation, and layout design/formatting. We are also well-versed in statistical and plotting software (e.g., R, SPSS, JMP, PAST, Data Graph) for data analysis and visualization, as well as GIS and mapping software (e.g., ArcGIS, QGIS, GeoMapApp, 3D Map Generator, Surfer) for creating 2D and 3D terrain maps using geospatial data.
