论文摘要
在这项工作中，我使用了一项高级可视化研究人员和思想家的调查来构想可视化研究进展的概念：我们如何成为一个领域，我们正在发展什么，我们现有的方法足以将我们带到那里？我的受访者讨论了从知识形成方面的可视化研究挑战：所使用的方法缺乏严格性，缺乏对实际实践社区的适用性，以及缺乏理论结构，这些结构将观众在图表中查看一个值的价值时，在几秒钟之前和之后都纳入了人们所发生的一切以及对数据发生的一切。在进步方面取代田野（如果这样的事情是理想的话，这是另一个争论点），我认为将需要对领域的含义，价值观以及如何教授的领域进行严重的重新概念。
In this work, I use a survey of senior visualization researchers and thinkers to ideate about the notion of progress in visualization research: how are we growing as a field, what are we building towards, and are our existing methods sufficient to get us there? My respondents discussed several potential challenges for visualization research in terms of knowledge formation: a lack of rigor in the methods used, a lack of applicability to actual communities of practice, and a lack of theoretical structures that incorporate everything that happens to people and to data both before and after the few seconds when a viewer looks at a value in a chart. Orienting the field around progress (if such a thing is even desirable, which is another point of contention) I believe will require drastic re-conceptions of what the field is, what it values, and how it is taught.
