Below is a short literature list I’m using to guide my research in Visual Analytics. It’s not comprehensive, but it does contain some key sources on VA along with literature from various other areas. Some sources deal with the field directly while others are sources from cognitive science, psychology, HCI, sociology, and others that contribute to an understanding of issues and consideration for research in VA. I expect to add to this list on a regular basis, so if you’re interested, check back for new additions. Also feel free to suggest other sources by using the commenting tool on the page or email me at: mail@danielha.com.
