Call for papers

2021-02-07

InfoDesign is an open access, peer reviewed, double blind journal that has been published since 2004.

InfoDesign plans an August 2021 issue on data visualization from the point of view of information design. Data visualization is now a mature field that showcases research in several multidisciplinary topics, mostly published in conferences and journals focusing on areas like HCI and computer science. The point of view of information design can offer singular insights on issues related to representation, rhetorics, cognition, emotion, visual design, aesthetics, data-driven design processes, and methodologies while, at the same time, cross-fertilizing these other fields.

Topics of interest to this issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Challenges and research agenda in data visualization design education

  • Research through Design (RtD) applied to data visualization 

  • Innovative data visualization design types

  • Qualitative research in data visualization design

  • Data visualization design in practice 

  • Reflections on data visualization design

  • Data visualization on the frontiers between information design and art

  • Methodological approaches to data visualization design

  • Evaluation methodologies and results in data visualization design

  • Design solutions in data visualization

  • Algorithmic rationale in the design of data visualization 

  • Data provenance design

  • Role of visual design on dashboards development

  • Animation design in data visualization
