The nested blocks and guidelines model is a useful template for creating design and evaluation criteria, because it aligns design to need [17]. Characterizing the outermost block of the nested model-the domain problem-is challenging, mainly due to the nature of contemporary inquiries in various domains, which are dynamic and, by definition, difficult to problematize. We offer here our emerging conceptual framework, based on the central question in our research study-what visualization works for whom and in which situation, to consider when characterizing the outermost block, the domain problem, of the nested model [18].
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.
