Integrate similar topics from different sections together #323

1.0 As I were going through the reader, One problem that I could see was that information on some of the topics are scattered throughout many sections of the reader. For example:

  1. Best Practices of Visualization: In section 3(i.e. fundamentals) we have the following articles on Best Practices: a. Practitioners Guide to Best Practices in Data Visualization(at 3.2) b. Three Rules to Follow in order to Develop Intuitive Dashboards(3.2.1) c. Fundamental Components of Design(3.3) d. Visualization and Graphics Principles to Refocus and Guide You(3.3.1) e. Best practices for visualization(3.10) f. Story Telling with Data(3.11) g. Tufte’s Design Principles of graphical excellence(3.13) h. Visual Data Communication (3.14 ) i. Gestalt Principles for Data Viz(3.15)

Again in section 5(i.e. patterns), we have the following topics: a. 5 Tips to improve Data Visualization(5.7) b. An example to back some of our theories on ‘how to tell stories using data visualization’ / ‘exploratory data visualization’(5.11)

  1. Data Visualization tools: a) Data Visualization Tools(at Section 3.4) b) Interactive Data Visualization(at Section 3.12) c) Tips for Tableau(at Section 5.9) d) Reusable Data Visualization Code in R(5.12)

  2. Charts: a) Pick the Right Chart Type(3.7) b) Why pie chart is bad: a comparison with bar chart(at Section5.3)

  3. Data Vizualization in Business/Corporate:

a) Data Visualization in Business(3.6) b) Corporate Scorecards and Data Visualization(3.11.1)

  1. Resources: a) Useful Links on Data Visualization Trends, Tutorials and Research Papers(at Section-2.4) b) Resources for Aspiring Data Visualists(3.16) c) Other sources of great visualization(4.24) d) More ways to improve your visualization design(5.8)

  2. Time Series: a) Avoiding Common Mistakes with Time Series(at Section 5.1) b) Example Visualizations of Time Series Data(at Section5.6)

1.1To solve this problem I want to take the following step:

  1. Integrate similar topics
    1. If some of the topics have less information add more articles to it.
  2. At last, if some information are repetitive, then delete that information upon consent of the original contributor.

1.2 For this week, I would like to focus more on the first two steps and I invite you all to contribute on the same. Also, you can add to the above list at.1.0 more topics with similar information that are scattered in the reader and work upon them.

Since similar topics from different sections are integrated, so closing the issue.
