1. journal & BOOK ILLUSTRATIONS
about this service
plans and prices
Scientific illustrations that capture the reader's attention and explain your research clearly and intuitively are a great way of communicating your work. At Research Figures this is the bread and butter of our service. We take great care in understanding your project so as to create unique graphics that tell the story of your research and highlight its contribution to your field.
Types of figure available include: scientific, technical and conceptual diagrams, maps, 2D and 3D models, and more. We can provide these figures in a variety of image and file formats so they are reusable across different media such as journal articles, books, conference posters, public outreach and advertising, press-releases, project and personal websites, and grant applications.
We also provide original image vector files so you can save illustrations to different formats in the future and make updates or small changes to them should you choose to do so.
1A) STANDARD graphics
Illustrations in this plan are typically lower-complexity designs, such as 2D maps or conceptual diagrams, where you may have provided plotted data or a rough sketch/layout of your desired image at the initial stage of consultation.
price €150–300*
1B) HIGH-COMPLEXITY graphics
Illustrations in this plan are typically more complex designs such as 3D maps, highly detailed images, or conceptual and methodological diagrams with multiple panels, graphs, and images/icons.
price €300–700*
2. data visualisations
about this service
Clear, perceptive data visualisations are one of the best ways to summarise your research findings and tie together multiple aspects of your work. These images enhance the narrative of your research by helping readers to understand the importance of your data. We create plots, graphs and maps that highlight key trends in complex data sets using intuitive designs, layouts, colour schemes, and symbols; these create a consistent and familiar theme across your research outputs that is recognisable to your audience.
Illustrations can be sent to you in a variety of file and image formats and at various levels of detail so you can use them in journal articles or as simplified versions for public outreach.
plans and prices
2A) STANDARD graphics
Data visualisations in this plan typically consist of lower-complexity, single-panel graphs or plots where you may have provided us with the data in a basic plotted form (e.g. plots saved in Excel, R, SPSS outputs, or similar). We work to de-clutter and highlight key trends in the data through stylisation, adding or updating the colour scheme, and the addition of basic supporting images, icons, or pictographs.
price €150–300*
2B) HIGH-COMPLEXITY graphics
Data visualisations in this category typically consist of higher-complexity, multi-panel graphs or plots where you may have provided us with data displayed in multiple basic plots, which require combining and enhancing with numerous supporting images, icons, or pictographs.
This category also covers visualisations where you provide us with unprocessed, raw data (e.g. raw numerical data in a spreadsheet, table, or data matrix) that we plot for you (e.g. 3D line graphs, scatter plots, ordinations, etc.). Please contact us with your specific requirements to learn more about how we can plot and visualise your data.
price €250–600*
3. Graphical Abstracts
about this service
plans and prices
Today more and more publishers require manuscripts to be submitted with a graphical abstract. These abstracts consist of a single image which clearly and succinctly summarises the key findings of your article or project. Once produced, graphical abstracts also have considerable potential to be reused in oral and poster presentations, outreach material, press releases, and on websites.
The turnaround time and associated cost of a graphical abstract depends on its complexity, including: number of elements, whether or not data to be included has been plotted, and whether you have provided a rough scheme or sketch.
price €150–550*
4. image enhancement & figure formatting
about this service
plans and prices
As your research progresses you may have existing figures or images that you would like to be rearranged, incorporated into composite figures, or adapted. At Research Figures we can update your existing illustrations to meet journal requirements, including: redrawing, resizing, adding and changing emphasis, formatting text, de-cluttering, altering layout, removing noise, image sharpening, colour adjustments, and stylisation.
The turnaround time and associated cost of enhancing and formatting depends on the figure/image complexity, including: whether redrawing is required, the number of images to be edited and combined, and whether or not you have provided a rough scheme or sketch.
price €75–300*
5. icons, logos & pictograms
about this service
Distinct logos, unique to your research group, institution, seminar series or conference, are an excellent way of enhancing your research profile. An eye-catching, recognisable logo creates a sense of familiarity and professionalism which is associated with you and your work and allows you to stand out from the crowd.
Custom icons that symbolically encapsulate and succinctly communicate an idea or concept, method, tool, object, process, or action, are a great way of helping an audience understand your research while also creating a sense of consistency across different types of research outputs (e.g. websites, journal articles, social media, presentations, and more).
plans and prices
The turnaround time and associated cost of the creation of logos, icons, and pictograms depends on the image complexity, including: number of elements, and whether or not you have provided a rough scheme or sketch.
price €100–450*
6. academic avatars
about this service
Avatars are great for your social media profile and outreach material. They are also a bit of fun! We can customise them however you’d like with different colour schemes and icons to represent your research interests!
plans and prices
You'll need to send us a picture of yourself so we can draw your avatar. All avatars are a standard cost.
price €30
