:: Content :
Dynamic, interactive web maps, and online visual geoanalytics dashboards have become pervasive in all aspects of the mobile information society. They are interfaces to big data and support open data developments in science, government, and society at large. Rapid advances in digital, data-driven journalism and respective mass media communication on the Web 2.0, aimed at an increasingly technologically savvy general public, have brought about online storytelling displays that dynamically and interactively combine text, photos, maps, and graphs. Such geovisual stories, not only inform people about political, economic, and social phenomena and processes, but are also designed to support space-time inference and decision making, to persuade, to reframe thinking, and possibly also to change human behavior.
What are the best practices of online geovisual storytelling, a rapidly expanding domain of geographic information visualization and geovisual analytics? What are the sound design guidelines for the development and deployment of expressive, perceptually salient, and cognitively supportive online geographic information stories? What kinds of stories can be extracted from big geodata cockpits and dashboards, developed to summarize and communicate large amounts of big space–time datasets? [...]

We invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information to explore the frontier in geographic data driven story telling on the Web 2.0. We encourage submissions from all relevant disciplines (e.g., Geography, GIScience, Cartography, Computer Science, Information Visualization, Journalism, Mass Media Communication, Psychology, etc.) and from a diverse set of scientific practices (e.g., qualitative, quantitative approaches, etc.) aimed to further advance this transdisciplinary research field. We are especially looking for empirical contributions that evaluate new forms of online communication of geographic information for a broad range of issues, users, and respective user engagements.
