Custom Visualization Services

Our Medical Illustrators can partner with you to create biomedical illustrations and animations for your academic publications and presentations. The illustrators work with faculty, staff, and student researchers at the School, as well as with clinicians and researchers across the Mount Sinai Health System. Visualization subjects range from surgical procedures to sub-cellular processes. Learn more by visiting our Visualization Services page.

We have prepared guides to help you export your figures from Excel to publication-ready TIF files:

Writing Support

The ISMMS Writing Support Service provides students, housestaff, and postdocs with 1:1 no-cost consultations from an experienced science writer and editor in a collaborative, non-judgmental, and confidential setting. Our writing support consultants are happy to collaborate with you at any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming to drafting to revising, to help make your manuscript more clear and effective. Our consultants can also work with you to ensure that your cover letter, responses to reviewers, and other documents necessary for manuscript submission and publication are as clearly presented as possible.

Data and Lab Notebook Management

Several units at Mount Sinai offer resources about data management and storage:

Consider documenting your research progress for individual and shared projects in Mount Sinai's LabArchives Electronic Lab Notebook.

Evidence Synthesis and Reviews

The Levy Library Research Synthesis and Systematic Review service supports teams conducting systematic, scoping, and other types of evidence and research syntheses. Our librarians can advise on methodology and search strategy development and collaborate on the review as a member of the team. We also license software tools like Covidence and EndNote to support scholarly collaboration.

Statistics and Data Analysis

The Library Statistics and Data Science Guide links to data science and statistics books and introduces centers and departments at Mount Sinai who provide biostatistics consultation for students, faculty and staff.
