I am always fascinated by the kind of diagrams that people publish in Cell, Nature, Science etc.. I want to get such a software that can help me in my research.
Popular, free and user-friendly tool is Tableau Public. Other are described for example in ComputerWorls article: 22 free tools for data visualization and analysis.

@Ajay, I assume you mean free software when you say open access. You can find several pieces of software for your purpose and similar ones here on Juan-Esteban's post linked below.

Hello Ajay,
Try these:
http://www.openoffice.org
http://www.tableau.com/public/download
http://www.edrawsoft.com/scientific-illustration.php
http://www.gnuplot.info
For complex data visualization, you can try the programming language R.(there is a free tutorial on R at CodeSchool).
If you just need an easy to use drawing program for mainly vectorized graphs (fine for display and print) of all kind, I suggest Inkscape to Ahmad's list above.
http://www.r-project.org
http://www.inkscape.org
codeschool.com
another option is to use Latex/pgf/Tikz :
very nice examples:

Inkscape for 2D and Blender for 3D pictures.
Blender for animations
For instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RasemoYzsFA
I recommend the online software called, Mind the Graph.
https://mindthegraph.com/
I would recommend "Mind the Graph" and "SmartDraw":

Dr. Brijesh, you should have to use Bio-Render software as it is scientific in nature and you can make a wide array of biological images.
For graphical abstracts and scientific illustrations i strongly recommend ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR.
I would strongly recommend the R programming language. Particularly, the ggplot2 package offers great possibilities and flexibility to make and export all type of plots.
Adobe inDesign is also a very good and intuitive tool to create scientific illustrations.

Hai, You can use the Biorender tool (https://biorender.com/) to make scientific diagrams.

Good evening sir try Bio render software its very very useful and its free version also available for few days
Yes, Dr. Phanikanth is right...try Biorender tool, its free and works on any computer with simple sign in.
Mahipal Shekhawat agrees with the Biorender tool. But it is free for five diagrams only. Is there any other way (without having any subscription) to make an unlimited diagram?
Phanikanth Jogam
Yes Sir, we need to take subscription for using Biorender tool and it is little bit costly. Without subscription there is no chance to use Biorender.
@Zishan Ahmad
I agree with Zishan Ahmed and Phanikanth, we have to subscribe after some use.
I would like to suggest Biorender website (https://biorender.com) for making a high quality of scientific diagrams.
normally people use even power point. You can design various sophisticated diagrams, but you might need to have some graphic design skills but i do believe there are some softwares. i have seen or used power point and also INKscape (should be free) and GIMP sometimes to perform some photoshopping
xfig software.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mcj/files/
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xfig
Hi, some of them are made by ggplot package. You can use python or R to create them, there are a lot of tutorials on youtube (and others) to do them w/o programing skills. Also try this online tool https://shiny.gmw.rug.nl/ggplotgui/ .
pd: you have more packeges besides ggplot, check them!
I have tried some and ended up using Veusz. It is really versatile, cross-platform and full of features. Perhaps, you should give it a try. It is already in the repositories of modern Linux distros, Ubuntu, for instance. Otherwise, see https://veusz.github.io .
For scientific plots:
1. gnu plot 2. Matplotlib (python)
For diagrams:
1. Incscape (it is the best)
For professional touch:
1. Mayavi (in python): it can give magical touch to the graphs.
All are open-source.
Yes, a good mention. I also sometimes use Inkscape to add some final touch after Veusz.
Hi,
The following software can help you
https://inkscape.org/
https://gephi.org/
https://www.coreldraw.com/en/
0. Xfig https://www.xfig.org/
1. Inkscape https://inkscape.org
2. TikZ with LaTeX https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/TikZ_package
....... so on.
are free and open-source (vector) graphics editos.
You can also try paid or free version of other softwares like MS Office, CorelDRAW, etc.
