Sage Research Methods: Data Visualization

Using Sage Research Methods Data Visualization

Sage Research Methods: Data Visualization is a collection of resources that supports the teaching and independent learning about visualizing data. Watch videos of experts discussing the fundamentals of good design, practice creating your own visualizations with provided data with Datasets, choose the right chart for the your data with the Chart Gallery, get tips and design inspiration from our Expert Insights, and explore the range of visualization tools available in the Tools Directory.

This collection includes:

  • A data visualization gallery introducing chart examples drawn from five categories of visualizations—categorical, hierarchical, temporal, spatial, and network—complete with both presentation tips and alternative versions 
  • Video tutorials with experienced researchers and visualization experts, guiding users though best practices for creating their own visualizations
  • Clean datasets, accompanied by step-by-step guides on how to create a particular visualization using a variety of tools, that will let users put their skills into practice
  • Overviews of visualization tools, from Excel to Python, to help researchers determine the best tool for their needs

While SRM Datasets teaches users how to properly analyze data, the content in SRM Data Visualization will help users present their findings in impactful and accurate charts and graphs. Learners will master the best chart type to display their data, pitfalls to avoid, and what tools are available to create their visualizations.
