“…Critical infovis critical theory to question hidden assumptions and structures of power in visualization research. Active projects in critical feminist visualization scholarship are shining a light on hidden and unappreciated forms of labor in visualization design and scholarship [8,11,30,65], challenging the assumption of inherent neutrality or objectivity in visualization design [8,12,27], and exploring the often fraught relationship between visualization and public audiences [5,14,33,50]. Additionally, Lundgard et al explore how traditional forms of intervention in visualization research can lead to unintended and unjust outcomes without proper care for the socio-technical milieu of the work [36].…”

A common research process in visualization is for visualization researchers to collaborate with domain experts to solve particular applied data problems. While there is existing guidance and expertise around how to structure collaborations to strengthen research contributions, there is comparatively little guidance on how to navigate the implications of, and power produced through the socio-technical entanglements of collaborations. In this paper, we qualitatively analyze reflective interviews of past participants of collaborations from multiple perspectives: visualization graduate students, visualization professors, and domain collaborators. We juxtapose the perspectives of these individuals, revealing tensions about the tools that are built and the relationships that are formed — a complex web of competing motivations. Through the lens of matters of care, we interpret this web, concluding with considerations that both trouble and necessitate reformation of current patterns around collaborative work in visualization design studies to promote more equitable, useful, and care-ful outcomes.

“…This starts with the selection and validation of data sources, data analysis, especially when it is automated with algorithms (e.g. AI), and data visualization (Diakopoulos, 2018;Ehmel, Brüggemann, & Dörk, 2021;Showkat & Baumer, 2021).…”

Purpose: Data is collected from all aspects of our lives. Yet, data alone is useless unless converted into information and, ultimately, knowledge. Since data analysts, in most cases, are not the ones in charge of making decisions based on their findings, communicating the results to stakeholders is crucial to passing on information of data-driven insights. That is where the discipline of data storytelling comes into play. Often, data storytelling is considered an effective data visualization. Creating data stories is a structured approach to communicating data insights as an interplay of the three elements data, visuals, and narrative. Sharing data-driven insights to support better business decisions require data storytellers skilled in the “art of storytelling”. Design/Method/Approach: In this paper, the authors discuss the use of data storytelling in business to communicate data to stakeholders for improving decision-making. The findings are derived from (1) an extensive literature review and (2) a qualitative analysis of 13 expert interviews with people incorporating data storytelling into their daily work within their jobs in international companies. Findings: These interviews revealed the importance of providing a flexible tool to support knowledge sharing for people communicating complex data to internal stakeholders. Combining literature with qualitative research enabled the authors to create the "data storytelling cheat sheet", a guide for practical data storytelling. Theoretical Implications: Theories like the Psychological distance or the idea of the theory of dual processing dual are used to base our research idea on. There was no new theory built in this paper. Practical Implications: One of the results is an implementation systematic cheat sheet that helps practitioners to implement data storytelling in their daily business. Originality/Value: The theory of data storytelling is overwhelming the first time to use and based on an empirical study with experts in the field a guideline for hands on use was developed under a based on a cleanly defined empirical study. Research Limitations/Future Research: The paper focus on internal data storytelling – maybe with external stakeholders it might be slightly different. The results the data communication part in any data analytics project. Paper Type: Empirical JEL Classification: D7, D8

“…Another visualization under Stanford University's banner offers insights into the "Arrests of Italian Jews, 1943-1945", using a map, time slider, and scatterplot [30]. Finally, a 2021 publication by Ehmel et al provides a visualization of violence against Jews in Germany between 1930 and 1939, also using a combination of map and glyphs to represent different types of violence against individuals, businesses, and institutions [31].…”

Diaries are private documentations of people’s lives. They contain descriptions of events, thoughts, fears, and desires. While diaries are usually kept in private, published ones, such as the diary of Anne Frank, show that they bear the potential to give personal insight into events and into the emotional impact on their authors. We present a visualization tool that provides insight into the Bergen-Belsen memorial’s diary corpus, which consists of dozens of diaries written by concentration camp prisoners. We designed a calendar view that documents when authors wrote about concentration camp life. Different modes support quantitative and sentiment analyses, and we provide a solution for historians to create thematic concepts that can be used for searching and filtering for specific diary entries. The usage scenarios illustrate the importance of the tool for researchers and memorial visitors as well as for commemorating the Holocaust.
