Overview of time spent video conferencing from March 16 to June 4 with concentrated synchronous design activities visible from late March to mid May; pivot points in the design process seen on April 2 when members C and D met for a prolonged design session using dual cameras as discussed in Section 7. See Table 2 for team roles.
We then discuss actions the VIS community 42 might take to better encourage, embrace, and celebrate 43 diverse contributions. Our work contributes a small step 44 toward the greater goal of broader disciplinary diversity 45 within the VIS community. 46 VARIATIONS IN RESEARCH 47 APPROACHES 48 To present our viewpoint, we present six examples of 49 research approaches, three familiar and three, perhaps 50 less familiar. Rather than an exhaustive list of 51 approaches, this should be considered a sampling to 52 illustrate the diverse possibilities. We encourage the 53 reader to embrace the unknown and consider what may 54 be possible by looking at problems through different dis-55 ciplinary lenses. There is validity in approaches that 56 were matured in other disciplines and that can be 57 adopted and borrowed in a VIS design context. 58 Keep in mind that, though we describe the approaches 59 separately, these processes and their outputs are often 60 not mutually exclusive. Approaches can overlap and 61 merge, mirroring the unique ways in which VIS design 62 unfolds differently in each project.
Visualization is inherently diverse and is employed in countless domains to enable meaningful interactions with data. There is tremendous opportunity in embracing disciplinary diversity to widen the pool of contributions to visualization design, research, and practice. We describe a few examples of diverse approaches: scientific method, design studies, tool building, participatory research and co design with communities, data storytelling, and autographic design. We discuss opening the aperture, pushing back on what we, as a community, deem acceptable and rigorous, and what can be gained through greater inclusivity of approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
