Scientific illustrations – visualising research data

Scientific illustrations are an essential method for presenting your research data in a clear, comprehensible manner. While graphics should ideally be self-explanatory, they often raise many questions and are misinterpreted. There are some rules that help avoid this. This course introduces central principles of representation and teaches the main steps for creating scientific visualisations.
