Abstract: With the development of science and technology, there are increasing number of infiltration and mergence between life science and other scientific branches, and the information and data that life science researchers are facing with are becoming more and more complicated. As a graphics thinking tool that expressing divergent thinking, mind mapping can help life science researchers to manage data and information effectively, arrange schedules and quickly organize thoughts to write papers, etc. Here combing with the characteristics and the trend of future development of life science, we summarize the application of mind mapping in life science research, aiming to offer help for life science researchers to use mind mapping software to manage scientific data and information.

Key words: mind mapping, life science, information management
