Pricing & Delivery
Research Figure Pricing & Delivery
Publication-focused research figure preparation starts at ₹2,500 for one standard figure. The entry price is intended for a defined figure that needs professional rebuilding or refinement—not for statistical analysis or open-ended illustration work.
Starting scope
₹2,500
per standard figure
Redrawing or visual cleanup of one supplied figure
Typography, labels, legends, panel lettering, and spacing standardisation
Colour and hierarchy review while preserving the supplied scientific meaning
High-resolution export prepared for the agreed publication or presentation use
Two revision rounds for figure-level corrections within the approved design direction
Research figures can be scientifically correct yet difficult to read, inconsistent across a manuscript, or unsuitable for the target publication format. We focus on presentation problems that reduce clarity.
Low-Resolution Output
Pixelated plots, screenshots, or text that becomes soft when figures are enlarged or exported.
Inconsistent Typography
Different fonts, sizes, label weights, capitalization, or symbol styles across panels.
Crowded Labels
Overlapping axis text, legends, annotations, or statistical markers that compete for space.
Example: Multi-Panel Figure Before Standardisation
A typical review identifies visual inconsistencies first, then corrects layout, hierarchy, legibility, and cross-panel formatting.
Colour choices that are inconsistent, difficult to distinguish, or visually overpower the data.
Journal-Spec Mismatch
Dimensions, fonts, resolution, file type, or other figure requirements that do not match supplied instructions.

What the Research Figures Service Covers
A figure-preparation workflow can combine visual cleanup, redraw work, multi-panel assembly, consistency review, and output preparation according to the materials and publication requirements you provide.
✓ Axis & label clarity
✓ Panel consistency
✓ Export preparation
Chart & Graph Redrawing
Rebuild supplied plots or charts for cleaner lines, consistent text, scalable presentation, and better visual control when sufficient source material is available.
Multi-Panel Figure Assembly
Arrange supplied panels with balanced sizing, consistent spacing, clear A–D labels, and an intentional reading order.
Typography, Labels & Legends
Standardise font family, size hierarchy, axis text, legends, annotations, symbols, abbreviations, and capitalization across figures.
Colour & Visual Hierarchy
Refine colour use, line weights, markers, contrast, whitespace, and emphasis so the data remain the visual focus.
Journal-Requirement Alignment
Review supplied figure instructions for dimensions, resolution, file type, fonts, colour mode, panel labels, and related presentation details.
Resolution & Export Preparation
Prepare the final figure for the requested output workflow, with dimensions and file format reviewed against the supplied destination requirements.

Which Parts of a Research Figure Are Reviewed?
A figure review looks beyond the chart itself. The surrounding labels, legends, annotations, panel structure, typography, resolution, and final dimensions all affect how clearly the visual communicates.
01
Axes & Units
Axis titles, units, tick labels, decimal presentation, and scale visibility.
02
Legends & Keys
Compact placement, naming consistency, marker matching, and visual hierarchy.
03
Panel Labels
A–D placement, size, weight, alignment, and reading order.
04
Typography
Font family, sizes, capitalization, symbols, abbreviations, and consistency.
05
Colour & Contrast
Series distinction, palette consistency, hierarchy, and non-colour cues where useful.
06
Annotations
Arrows, callouts, significance markers, scale bars, labels, and explanatory notes.
07
Resolution & Dimensions
Figure size, aspect ratio, raster quality, and requested export requirements.
08
Cross-Figure Consistency
Shared styles across all figures in the same manuscript or submission package.

Our Research Figure Workflow
The workflow separates source review, figure preparation, author-dependent decisions, quality control, and final export so changes remain traceable and the visual scope stays clear.
1. Share Figures
Provide figures, editable source material where available, target requirements, and your deadline.
2. Scope Review
We assess figure count, panel count, source quality, redraw needs, and requested outputs.
3. Figure Audit
Typography, labels, legends, layout, colours, dimensions, and consistency are reviewed.
4. Prepare / Redraw
Figures are formatted, rebuilt, aligned, assembled, or visually reorganised to the agreed scope.
5. Consistency Review
Cross-panel and cross-figure styling is checked for a unified manuscript-level presentation.
6. Quality Control
We review legibility, dimensions, requested specifications, and visual consistency before export.
7. Final Delivery
Prepared files are supplied in the agreed formats, with author questions resolved before finalisation.

A Clear Handoff for Your Manuscript Workflow
Each project is scoped around the figure files you provide and the destination requirements you identify. That keeps the final handoff aligned with your manuscript, presentation, thesis, report, poster, or journal submission workflow.
10
Disciplines & Research Figure Types
Figure conventions vary by field. The service adapts to the visual conventions, terminology, notation, and target requirements supplied for your research area.
If your figure type is not listed, describe it in the enquiry. The scope can be assessed from the source files, intended use, and target publication requirements.
11
Custom Research Figure Quote
A standard figure starts at ₹2,500. The figure scope and source material are reviewed first to confirm whether redrawing, panel assembly, specialist illustration, or additional output requirements need a larger quotation.
Quote Based on the Actual Figure Work
Share the figures, source-file types, journal or publisher requirements, requested outputs, and deadline. The quote can then reflect the real amount of preparation rather than a generic package.

Confidentiality & File Handling
Research figures may contain unpublished findings, source data, manuscript information, and submission details, so file handling is treated as part of the service workflow.
Your Research Files Deserve Careful Handling
The figure preparation process is limited to the work required for the agreed service. If a source inconsistency or unclear scientific element is noticed, it should be flagged rather than silently altered.
Purpose-limited handling: files are used for the figure work requested in the project scope.
Confidential material: unpublished visuals and supporting material are treated as project information, not public content.
No silent scientific changes: questions affecting scientific interpretation are returned to the author for clarification.
Requirement-aware workflow: supplied journal or publisher instructions remain part of the figure review.
What to Share Safely and Clearly
For the fastest scope review, provide only the files necessary to understand and prepare the figures. Remove unrelated sensitive material where it is not required for the figure task.
Figure source filesEditable originals or the highest-quality files available.
Target instructionsJournal, publisher, thesis, poster, or report figure requirements.
Author notesExplain any elements that must not be changed or that need special handling.
13
Turnaround Options
Turnaround is confirmed after the scope and deadline are reviewed. Delivery timing is confirmed after the figure count, redraw complexity, source quality, requested output, and deadline are reviewed.
Standard Scheduling
Best when the manuscript plan allows time for normal scope review, figure preparation, author clarifications, quality control, and export.
›
Priority Scheduling
For closer deadlines where the requested scope can be scheduled with increased priority. Feasibility is confirmed before work begins.
›
Urgent Scope Review
For time-sensitive submissions. Availability depends on figure complexity, source readiness, the number of panels, and the exact delivery requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about figure redrawing, visual consistency, journal requirements, source files, pricing, turnaround, and scientific-content boundaries.
1. What does the Research Figures Service include?
The service can include figure formatting, chart and graph redrawing, multi-panel assembly, typography and label refinement, legend and annotation cleanup, colour and line-weight consistency, resolution and export preparation, and alignment with supplied journal figure instructions.
2. Can you redraw a low-resolution chart or graph?
Yes, when sufficient source material is available. A chart can be rebuilt from editable source data or recreated from a clear reference while preserving the supplied values and scientific meaning.
3. Do you change my research data?
The service focuses on visual presentation. Data values are not intentionally altered. If a source inconsistency is noticed, it is flagged for author review rather than silently changed.
4. Can figures be prepared to match journal guidelines?
Yes. When journal or publisher instructions are supplied, figure dimensions, file type, resolution, fonts, panel labels, line weights, colour mode, and related presentation details can be reviewed against those requirements.
5. Can you assemble several panels into one composite figure?
Yes. Multiple supplied panels can be arranged into a consistent composite figure with aligned spacing, panel labels, shared typography, balanced sizing, and a clear reading order.
6. What source files should I provide?
Provide the clearest files available. Editable charts, spreadsheets, vector files, presentation files, source images, plotting exports, or high-resolution references are helpful, along with the target journal instructions when applicable.
7. Which output formats can be discussed?
Output depends on the figure and target publication. Common research workflows may require raster or vector outputs, so include the requested final file type and any journal specifications in the project brief.
8. Can you improve colours and accessibility?
Colour palettes can be refined for clearer visual separation and consistency. Where relevant, the figure can also be reviewed for contrast and for distinctions that do not rely on colour alone.
9. How is turnaround determined?
Turnaround is confirmed after the figure count, panel count, redraw complexity, source-file quality, target specifications, requested outputs, and deadline have been reviewed.
10. How is pricing determined?
A standard research figure starts at ₹2,500. Multi-panel assemblies, substantial redrawing, complex annotations, poor source files, multiple journal formats, or priority delivery can move the work beyond the entry scope.
