Data Viz Human Research and Typography

[patel011393]

Hi,

I have finished reading the first two sections of Fundamentals of Data Visualization online and I
am really enjoying it. At the moment, I'm using it to create an interactive data visualization to embed in digital scientific papers (https://datavis-demo.herokuapp.com/).

In the final version, I'd love to read about how data visualization research with human subjects supports the arguments you make in the text (as well as more general data viz human research). Experiments supporting certain practices and principles would be great to read about.

I have also been wondering about the role of typography in creating readable data visualizations. Are there any research-supported guidelines? Finally, I found one typo/awkward sentence in chapter 10 :

"The archetypal such visualization is the pie chart"

The word "such" is not needed.
