Visualization is a useful technology in health science, and especially for community network analysis. Because visualization applications in healthcare are typically risk-averse, health psychologists can play a significant role in ensuring appropriate and effective uses of visualization techniques in healthcare. In this paper, we examine the role of health psychologists in the triangle of health science, visualization technology, and visualization psychology. We conclude that health psychologists can use visualization to aid data intelligence workflows in healthcare and health psychology, while researching into visualization psychology to aid the improvement and optimization of data visualization processes.

Visualization guidelines, if defined properly, are invaluable to both practical applications and the theoretical foundation of visualization. In this paper, we present a collection of research activities for studying visualization guidelines accordin
g to Grounded Theory (GT). We used the discourses at VisGuides, which is an online discussion forum for visualization guidelines, as the main data source for enabling data-driven research processes as advocated by the grounded theory methodology. We devised a categorization scheme focusing on observing how visualization guidelines were featured in different threads and posts at VisGuides, and coded all 248 posts between September 27, 2017 (when VisGuides was first launched) and March 13, 2019. To complement manual categorization and coding, we used text analysis and visualization to help reveal patterns that may have been missed by the manual effort and summary statistics. To facilitate theoretical sampling and negative case analysis, we made an in-depth analysis of the 148 posts (with both questions and replies) related to a student assignment of a visualization course. Inspired by two discussion threads at VisGuides, we conducted two controlled empirical studies to collect further data to validate specific visualization guidelines. Through these activities guided by grounded theory, we have obtained some new findings about visualization guidelines.
Empirical studies form an integral part of visualization research. Not only can they facilitate the evaluation of various designs, techniques, systems, and practices in visualization, but they can also enable the discovery of the causalities explaini
ng why and how visualization works. This state-of-the-art report focuses on controlled and semi-controlled empirical studies conducted in laboratories and crowd-sourcing environments. In particular, the survey provides a taxonomic analysis of over 129 empirical studies in the visualization literature. It juxtaposes these studies with topic developments between 1978 and 2017 in psychology, where controlled empirical studies have played a predominant role in research. To help appreciate this broad context, the paper provides two case studies in detail, where specific visualization-related topics were examined in the discipline of psychology as well as the field of visualization. Following a brief discussion on some latest developments in psychology, it outlines challenges and opportunities in making new discoveries about visualization through empirical studies.
In each of the last five years, a few dozen empirical studies appeared in visualization journals and conferences. The existing empirical studies have already featured a large number of variables. There are many more variables yet to be studied. While
empirical studies enable us to obtain knowledge and insight about visualization processes through observation and analysis of user experience, it seems to be a stupendous challenge for exploring such a huge variable space at the current pace. In this position paper, we discuss the implication of not being able to explore this space effectively and efficiently, and propose means for addressing this challenge.
Graph data have become increasingly common. Visualizing them helps people better understand relations among entities. Unfortunately, existing graph visualization tools are primarily designed for single-person desktop use, offering limited support for
interactive web-based exploration and online collaborative analysis. To address these issues, we have developed Argo Lite, a new in-browser interactive graph exploration and visualization tool. Argo Lite enables users to publish and share interactive graph visualizations as URLs and embedded web widgets. Users can explore graphs incrementally by adding more related nodes, such as highly cited papers cited by or citing a paper of interest in a citation network. Argo Lite works across devices and platforms, leveraging WebGL for high-performance rendering. Argo Lite has been used by over 1,000 students at Georgia Techs Data and Visual Analytics class. Argo Lite may serve as a valuable open-source tool for advancing multiple CIKM research areas, from data presentation, to interfaces for information systems and more.
In cerebrovascular networks, some vertices are more connected to each other than with the rest of the vasculature, defining a community structure. Here, we introduce a class of model networks built by rewiring Random Regular Graphs, which enables to
reproduce this community structure and other topological properties of cerebrovascular networks. We use these model networks to study the global flow reduction induced by the removal of a single edge. We analytically show that this global flow reduction can be expressed as a function of the initial flow rate in the removed edge and of a topological quantity, both of which display probability distributions following Cauchy laws, i.e. with large tails. As a result, we show that the distribution of blood flow reductions is strongly influenced by the community structure. In particular, the probability of large flow reductions increases substantially when the community structure is stronger, weakening the network resilience to single capillary occlusions. We discuss the implications of these findings in the context of Alzheimers Disease, in which the importance of vascular mechanisms, including capillary occlusions, is beginning to be uncovered.
