Implications of Desnoyers' Taxonomy for Standardization of Data Visualization: A Study of Students' Choice and Knowledge

摘要

Purpose: Current research on data visuals focuses on their creation and use; however, there are few attempts at standardizing data visuals to help facilitate better interdisciplinary communication. Can Desnoyers' taxonomy facilitate better interdisciplinary communication in STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields by helping practitioners choose more efficient data visuals? In addition, would adopting Desnoyers' taxonomy bypass the current discrepancies between academic and journal data visuals?
