My name is Susan Kistler<\/strong> and I am the Executive Director of the American Evaluation Association.

Hot Tip<\/strong>: Periodic Table of Visualization Methods: Stuck in a rut visualizing your data? Making so many pie charts you might as well be cooking Thanksgiving dinner? Check out the Periodic Table of Visualization Methods for great ideas on ways to visualize data. It offers approximately 100 examples of data visualization options, arranged thematically as a periodic table. Warning: a printed version doesn\u2019t do this justice. Play with it online where you can mouse-over each cell in the periodic table and see an example to get the juices flowing.\u00a0 http:\/\/www.visual-literacy.org\/periodic_table\/periodic_table.html#<\/a>. Also, you may want to look at the research behind it all via this academic paper about the Development of the Periodic Table: http:\/\/www.visual-literacy.org\/periodic_table\/periodic_table.pdf<\/a>. And for the resources? Four websites for data visualization inspiration:<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Rad Resource: <\/strong>FlowingData (Strength in Numbers): Great examples of data visualization from the author, Nathan Yau, a PhD statistics student with a background in design. He also compiles other data visualization resources and encourages sharing and open-source. http:\/\/flowingdata.com\/<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Rad Resource<\/strong>: Information Aesthetics (Where form follows data.): Maintained by Andrew Vande Moere at the University of Sydney, this site \u2018collects projects that represent data or information in original or intriguing ways.\u2019 His examples veer wildly from mapping the impact of global warming to a tour of the brain to stitching travel itineraries on postcards \u2013 food for thought! http:\/\/infosthetics.com\/<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Rad Resource<\/strong>: Visual Complexity: Focusing on visualizing complex networks, this site archives and annotates projects from around the world that use systems visualization tools. \u2018the project\u2019s main goal is to leverage a critical understanding of different visualization methods, across a series of disciplines, as diverse as Biology, Social Networks or the World Wide Web.\u2019 http:\/\/www.visualcomplexity.com\/vc\/<\/a> Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
