Year after year we have experienced an increase in the number of new users and, even, the creation of new technologies (i.e. augmented reality, 360º cameras, …) and new social networks. However, this phenomenon is contrasted with the appearance of automatic programs (bots) and fake news that can affect the quality of published information. This paper presents the state of the art of the quality of the information found in different social networks. In addition, we propose a series of learnt lessons to be followed in order to develop a theoretical application that measures the quality of a user generated information for a given event.","PeriodicalId":312162,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115711433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By using appropriate queries, it is possible to access these metadata, find specific papers and all associated details, as well as retrieve indices, metrics and information about authors. However, a big issue is that they generally do not aggregate the results of subsequent searches and do not offer explicit representations of author/citation relationships between found items. This paper introduces VisualBib, a Web application prototype conceived to support researchers who wish to create, modify, visualize and share bibliographies. Starting with a small set of papers or with a restricted number of authors, it generates, in real-time, an interactive visual representation of the corresponding bibliography; the user can explore the network of cited/citing references and dynamically add new papers in order to build up customized bibliographies which are represented using holistic, aggregated and graphical views.","PeriodicalId":312162,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114362614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A well-known example is the diagram of amino acid properties. However, Euler diagrams are not always easy to read for students, and they are complex to produce when the number of sets is above 6. Other approaches exist for set visualization, such as rainbow boxes, but they have not been evaluated properly yet. In this paper, we propose a new diagram for amino acids, using rainbow boxes. We present a crossover user study that compares the new diagram with the usual Euler diagram (often miscalled “Venn diagram”). 78 students in biology were recruited; they responded to questions using the diagrams. We show that rainbow boxes lead to half the error rate (p value = 0.013) and also performed significantly better in terms of response time and user preference. We also explore the possibility of enriching the amino acid diagram with additional information, beyond the 8 properties commonly presented. We discuss the limitations of each technique.","PeriodicalId":312162,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference Information Visualisation (IV)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116997630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, the time periods in this data represent the period of validity in the real-world, such as the period of a specific assignment, but may also represent the periods when the data was stored, i.e., believed to be true. Inferring new information from this data is eased by visualizing and comparing their different time periods.
