*** Apologies for cross-posting *** ================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of Information Visualization on Visual Text Analytics ================================================== Submission deadline: January 31, 2023 Expected publication: September 2023 Visualizing textual information is a particularly challenging area of information visualization and visual analytics research. The types of data processing and analytic algorithms differ greatly from tabular or geospatial data, and the visualization techniques have additional constraints to consider, including the provision of context for text fragments of similar or different size and structure, depicting embeddings and high dimensional representations, and ensuring legibility of text incorporated into visualizations. The wide variation in data is accompanied by the difficulties in inferring the semantic meaning of ambiguous terms, or determining the referencing between subsequent statements. We invite the community to submit new articles examining the challenges and successes when applying information visualization to text analytics. Articles may focus on theories, methodologies, techniques and evaluations of visual text analytics approaches and systems. Articles that specifically explore the state of research within the specific theme of this special issue are also welcome, but position papers are not in the focus of the journal. Specific topics of interest, all in context of visual text analytics, are for instance ● Text Data Sources and Diversity ● Model Explainability and Interpretability ● Evaluation and Experimental Designs ● Perceptual Issues Depicting Data with Text ● Representation and Visualization of Text and Documents ● Interaction Design in Visual Text Analytics ● Toolkits and Standards ● Text Visualization Literacy ● Generating Text to Accompany Visualizations ● Uncertainty Localization and Propagation in Text Visualization ● Support for Text Data Annotation ● Visual Analysis of Bias in Text Analytics Inquiries can be made to any of the guest editors. Please inform the guest editors of your intent to submit. For further author information and submission guidelines, we refer to the following web page: https://journals.sagepub.com/page/ivi/virtualspecialcollections Guest Editors: Christopher Collins (Ontario Tech University, Canada), christopher.collins(a)ontariotechu.ca Antske Fokkens (Free University Amsterdam, Netherlands), antske.fokkens(a)vu.nl Andreas Kerren (Linköping University and Linnaeus University, Sweden), andreas.kerren(a)liu.se Chris Weaver (University of Oklahoma, USA), cweaver(a)ou.edu

FW: Call for Papers: Visualization of Health Data for Lay Audiences
by Adriana Arcia 08 Sep '22

08 Sep '22

CALL FOR PAPERS JAMIA, the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association is accepting submissions for a focus issue on Visualization of Health Data for Lay Audiences until Jan 22, 2023. See details at: https://academic.oup.com/jamia/pages/cfp-visualization-health-data Topics of Interest This focus issue welcomes original research and applications papers, perspectives, brief communications, case reports, and review articles addressing a range of topics associated with this area including, but not limited to, the following areas: * Methods utilized throughout the human-centered design life-cycle, including: visualization needs assessment, study design, formative evaluation, summative evaluation, implementation, post-deployment monitoring methods * Measurement and evaluation of the impact of visualizations, including experimental comparisons of methodological approaches and visualization formats (e.g., chart types, static vs. interactive) * Methods, applications, or perspectives that recruit and engage end users who represent diverse groups around the globe * Review articles including scoping and systematic reviews as well as concise tutorials related to visualizations for lay audiences * Validated techniques for processing and presenting big data (e.g., passive sensor data, electronic health record data, and population health data) to lay audiences * Reports highlighting how the needs of lay audiences are different from those of professionals with respect to methods for capturing feedback and the visualizations themselves * Ontologies and taxonomies to serve purposes such as defining human-centered design terminology and establish consistency in the language utilized across disciplines * Original research highlighting the application of design principles to health topics or reporting on the implementation of visualizations * Perspective articles setting research agendas and priorities Contributions including co-authorship with lay audience members are encouraged.
