This is a great overview of common mistakes in data viz I will be sharing it with my colleagues. As a good supplement I highly recommend Kennedy Eliot's "39 studies about human perception in 30 mins" https://medium.com/@kennelliott/39-studies-about-human-perception-in-30-minutes-4728f9e31a73 https://medium.com/@kennelliott/39-studies-about-human-perce...
... a whistle stop tour around the research basis for a lot of claims around data viz best practice (esp interesting re the dogma around not using pie charts which seems to be a consistent bugbear of designers going back to the 1930's but around which the research is inconclusive at best)

- uolmir 3y agoI hadn't seen that, but I was going to recommend this recent paper: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/15291006211051956 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/15291006211051... At a glance of the medium article, they seem to have the same perspective on these issues, so the one should complement the other.
