*[2nd Round] Call for Papers: Special Issue on Inclusive Data Experiences*

*Important Dates*

Submissions due: *5 September 2025*
Publication: Mar/Apr 2026 (rescheduled from Jul/Aug 2025)


While the visualization community has made great strides over the last few
decades, visualization research has traditionally centered on certain user
groups, notably individuals without disabilities, overlooking the diverse
capabilities and needs of a broader range of people. The disparities in
sensory, cognitive, and motor abilities lead to unequal access to data
visualization and the underlying data.

Data has become an integral part of our lives and holds immense potential
to influence how we work, live, and engage with the world. Data
visualization has proven a powerful tool for gaining and communicating
insights, as well as supporting informed decision-making across various
domains and contexts. The inequitable access to data and data visualization
significantly affects education and employment, as well as health and
lifestyle. Recognizing the urgent need to address this significant equity
issue, research communities have put increasing efforts towards making data
visualization accessible to people with disabilities. We aspire not only to
amplify this trend but also to more broadly consider inclusive data
experiences. This goes beyond data visualization to understand broader
interactions between data and people so that everyone can equitably access
and benefit from data.

This special issue aims to foster novel insights and advancements for
inclusive data experiences. We invite submissions that examine various
needs and challenges, introduce innovative approaches and solutions,
present robust methodologies and evaluations, and offer visions and
viewpoints, among other things.

Topics of interest include, but not limited to:

   - Accessible visualization authoring tools and production methods
   - Novel devices for accessible data interaction
   - Technologies for inclusive data experiences
   - Data physicalization for inclusive data experiences
   - Challenges and opportunities of AI for inclusive data experiences
   - Accessible multimodal data representations
   - Evidence-based guidelines for inclusive data representations
   - Data and visualization education for inclusive data representations
   - Real-world data needs of people with disabilities and marginalized
   users
   - Accessible personal informatics for people with disabilities and
   marginalized users
   - Grand challenges for inclusive data experiences
