PSY30460: This assignment requires you to select a research topic in data visualization and summarise: Data Visualization creating graphs in R an introduction to programming Report, UCD, Ireland

This assignment requires you to select a research topic in data visualization and summarise the key aspects of the topic in a research report with a minimum of 1300 words and no more than 1800 words.

Your report should refer to at least two research papers on this topic. I have provided a list of research papers that address some topics in data visualization. However, you may select another relevant research topic and associated scientific research paper. As we will cover several of Hadley Wickham’s papers, you may not select topics from Hadley’s papers.! You may use figures in the paper and/or your own figures to illustrate the key ideas in the paper. However, do not include a figure without referring to it and explaining it. The audience for this report is a postgraduate student like yourself. Your report should provide next year’s students with a clear summary of a particular topic in data visualization, with reference to at least two research papers addressing the topic.

The report should have an introduction that gives an overview of the topic and explains why it is important. It should briefly introduce the papers you are referencing and explain briefly how they address the topic. The body of the report should outline the approach and findings of the research papers you have selected. This should not be presented as a list. There are several ways of presenting this information and it will depend on the topic and the papers. For example, you may want to compare and contrast approaches or findings. Finally, your conclusion section should summarise what you have found. You should give your own opinion/critique in the conclusion.
