ABSTRACT

This editorial explores knowledge visualization, a field of study that investigates the power of visual formats to represent knowledge, as a strategy to enhance knowledge mobilization of results from ICT4D research. We highlight the fact that there are evidence-based guidelines for creating and crafting visualizations in academic writing. We also provide some visualization examples that highlight general knowledge visualization criteria such as anchor and extend, familiarity, clarity and consistency, include text, prudent simplicity and aesthetics. Although visualization is not the central theme of any of the papers in this issue, the papers offer a variety of visualization techniques as appropriate to the knowledge domain.

摘要

这篇社论探讨了知识可视化这一研究领域，该研究旨在研究视觉格式代表知识的力量，以此作为提高ICT4D研究成果的知识动员的策略。我们强调一个事实，即在学术写作中存在基于证据的准则来创建和制作可视化效果。我们还提供了一些可视化示例，以突出一般知识可视化条件，例如锚点和扩展，熟悉度，清晰度和一致性，包括文本，审慎的简单性和美观性。。尽管可视化不是本期任何论文的主题，但这些论文提供了适合知识领域的各种可视化技术。
