BELIV 2018: Evaluation and Beyond - Methodological Approaches for Visualization

Date: October 21st, 2018. Berlin

We invite contributions to BELIV 2018, the international forum to broadly discuss research methods in visualization. Our discussions span from a novel and not-yet-fully established evaluation methods for visualization tools and techniques to methods that more generally establish the validity and scope of acquired visualization knowledge. The 2018 call for papers includes an expanded scope from years past to reflect this newly broadened purview.

New this year: Complementary to the broader scope on research methods more generally, 2018 will also include a focus topic—replication practices in visualization—which will shape half of the workshop. This call for papers thus also includes specific issues related to both the replication of quantitative and qualitative work, as well as opportunities for reflective assessment of unsuccessful replication efforts.
