Data visualization
The Data Visualization Guide covers best practices and useful tools for successful data visualization. Exploratory visualization can help discover patterns in the data that may not be clear from statistics alone.
In addition to supporting a deeper understanding of data patterns, visualization is also a frequent final output of research.

While software and data type may vary by discipline, the underlying concepts of good data visualization are consistent.
