Hello. I would like to know which software you use to draw/graph the thematic analysis results. So which programs/apps do you use to create mind maps (text clouds, links, etc. ) that are suitable for scientific publication in an APA journal (i. e. to follow APA guidelines)? Are these programmes chargeable? I have not found on the APA website which software is recommended for drawing mind maps or the results of thematic analysis in the form of mind maps. I appreciate your help. Note: I am talking about a mind map like this:

Dear N. Asic ,
Although I am pretty sure that APA style refers much more to the way you depict the references (and sometimes how to cite them in the text). I never bothered when it comes to Tables and Figures. There is a subset of journals that might be stricter in their publishing style like: https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals So, I presume you mean the following requirements:
https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/tables-figures/figures and
https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/tables-figures/sample-figures
Besides just using PowerPoint, Photoshop, MS Paint or even MS Word, there are alternatives like for example:

Best regards.
If you already have a mind map and your goal is to draw it, then I second the recommendation for using the tools in PowerPoint.
Beyond that, almost all Mind Mapping programs do the same thing, and you can find free programs for that purpose through an internet search.
