Hello, this might be important for many of us where know how share could help achieve better efficiency of presenting our findings. What are technical tools you are using for visualization of scientific data - research results? Newest ICT tools for drawing info graphics, charts etc.?
I'm using infogr.am as one of, not so satisfied with ArcGIS ESRI design for mapping of spatial research.
What are your favorite tools for visual communication?
HI Dr. Andris,
I searched before for the same title and found these articles.. I think they contain many richy sources

Good day

Thanks a lot, Samaa - there is a valuable insight, things to sort out from these lists!
Hi Andris,
This is an interesting question and I would love to read what others are using. In my case, I use R packages such as ggplot2 and tmap (for spatial visualisation) if the aim is to put the results in the paper. Also tableau offers some nice data visualisation features that can be very handy if your aim is to present your finding in an interactive map.

BioRender! (https://biorender.io/)
Basically an online app that contains a library of pre-made cells, proteins, membrane shapes, organs, lab equipment, etc. that you can drag-and-drop so you don't have to spend time drawing each element of the figure out yourself. Saves a lot of time for creating schematic figures, and the icons are all created by scientific illustrators so they're both beautiful and accurate!
I attended probably the most useful workshop I've ever been to earlier this year by Dr. Stephanie Evergreen called Presenting Data Effectively. If she's ever holding a workshop in your area or at a conference you are going to I highly recommend attending!
She has a number of books that you can search, has many resources on her website, and is highly active on Twitter (@evergreendata).
