Provided are methods and systems for the visualization of elements of a scientific workflow. A method for visualization of elements of a scientific workflow may include displaying the scientific workflow via a user interface. Based on predetermined grouping criteria, one or more collapsible groups of elements are defined within the scientific workflow. Upon receiving a request to collapse the collapsible groups of elements, the collapsible groups of elements are collapsed into collapsed groups of elements. After collapsing, a layout of the plurality of elements and the collapsed groups of elements is selectively readjusted. The method can further include adding further elements to the scientific workflow, removing elements from the scientific workflow, and modifying elements in the scientific workflow.
