Review of Visualization in the Social Sciences: Main Report

Weblinks and Gateways

Generally, websites pertaining to visualization in the social sciences include websites advertising conferences (such as the Open University Conference on Visualising Multivaraite Data), individual researchers home pages, websites relating to specific projects such as the ACOCG project and The Cartographic Project, and individuals and companies developing visualization tools and technologies.

Usually a good starting point is the Social Science Information Gateway (SOSIG) [71]. SOSIG is an online catalogue of thousands of Internet resources relevant to social science education and research. Every resource has been selected and described by a librarian or subject specialist. In terms of visualization links though, very little are currently stored in SOSIG. Below is a list of websites that may act as gateways to social science visualization sites.

A List of Potential Web Gateways
