  • A gallery with multiple chart types across five categories of visualizations—categorical, hierarchical, temporal, spatial, and network—complete with presentation tips and annotated examples of bad practices
  • Approximately 30 hours of video tutorials presented by experienced researchers, each sharing their specific visualizations and demonstrating how they created them in their chosen software
  • Clean datasets accompanied by step-by-step guides on how to create a particular visualization using a variety of tools
  • Overviews of 75 visualization tools, from Excel to Python, to help researchers determine the best tool for their needs
