On evaluating information visualization techniques

User Evaluation Methods for Visual Web Search Interfaces

“…Both Freitas et al [8] and Zuk et al [38] have suggested that inspection methods can be extended to include the consideration of specific issues relevant to information visualization. Their extensions include evaluating the codification of information, the completeness of the information being visually represented, and the spatial organization of the objects in the visual display.…”

Roadmapping and Navigating in the Ontology Visualization Landscape

“…Inspired by categorization of tasks that should be supported by an information visualization application as defined in [19] (and adapted in [13]) and evaluation criteria classes described in [7], we further identified seventeen relevant features implemented in ontology visualization tools:…”

“…Referring to [7], F1-F5 are associated with a criteria class called Help and User Orientation, F6-F8 with Navigation and Browsing, F9-F10 with Dataset Reduction, F11-F14 with Spatial Organization, and F15 with Information Coding. F16 and F17 have no corresponding class in [7].…”

“…F16 and F17 have no corresponding class in [7]. In each use case category most of the 17 features should ideally be supported; however, their importance varies.…”

Methods and Procedures for the Verification and Validation of Artificial Neural Networks

“…The criteria in Table 7-1 can provide a means to evaluate a specific visualization technique or software application to determine whether it provides useful visual information. Freitas [2002] in a paper titled "On Evaluating Information Visualization Techniques" outlines four classes of criteria for testing usability of visual representations. The four classes are completeness, spatial organization, codification of information, and state transition.…”
