| Sumario: | Assessments of configurations, dynamics, and cause and effect are at the heart of our thinking and explanation. Although numerous methods for such assessments have been developed and are being used in our daily scientific practice, visualization is frequently not considered one of them. In this paper we will first argue that this is due to the common practice of visualizing data rather than the information contained in it; secondly, we address a number of principles for effective visualization; thirdly, we assess specific examples for the visualization of networks on these principles; fourthly, we demonstrate that information visualization applied to networks is not only a possible method to analyze configurations, dynamics, and cause but, moreover, that it has an added value compared to other methods. We conclude with implications for the visualization of social networks. |
