How you can contribute to Open Access Vis
Please create an issue to:
- Add missing data
- Fix incorrect data
- Add thumbnails (a missing thumbnail or a better version of an existing one)
Please do not edit the CSV via a pull request. For data updates, only use issues.
Important: Do not retrieve any information from IEEE (especially abstracts and thumbnails). Everything should come from other sources.
URLs:
- URLs on an open access repository are prioritized for longevity.
- White-listed open access repositories are in the
OADomains variable in js/load.js. Let me know if others should be added.
- For URLs outside of an open access repository, it must be on the site of an author or their institution.
- The paper must be viewable directly in a browser without any required download.
Explanation page:
The explanation page is for sites that contain more than the basic information. It's not simply a "landing page", and it includes a simpler description of the project and/or a demo. Good examples:
Thumbnails
- The image must be exactly 400 x 300 pixels.
- Try to find a figure that is explanatory rather than just eye candy.
- The filename is the first non-article word in the title +
"_" + the next word + "_" + first name of first author + ".png" (all lower case).
For example, "A Nifty Vis System" by Jane Smith and John Smith would become nifty_vis_jane.png
For now, thumbnails are not in the repository. Feel free to paste new ones into a github issue or email them to me.
Videos
- Prioritize explanatory videos rather than teasers or eye candy.
- Videos on Youtube, Vimeo, or hosted as an MP4 should all work.
- Youtube spreadsheet format:
youtube VIDEO_ID. For example youtube Xj-AEmUwsvQ
- Vimeo spreadsheet format:
vimeo VIDEO_ID. For example vimeo 223373844
- Video file spreadsheet format:
video VIDEO_URL. For example
video http://timelinesrevisited.github.io/supplemental/stories/routines.mp4
If the video file is hosted on a personal domain (not github), ask for permission before using.
