Services Provided
Our role is to facilitate your data visualization within the realm of our supported tools. We can assist you with issues that you may encounter with respect to preparing data for visualization (importing, merging, and cleaning data) and provide feedback regarding design. We can also provide guidance on selecting an appropriate tool for your task as well as locate documentation and further resources.
In addition to providing regularly scheduled software-specific tutorials, we can also help instructors by providing classroom presentations of supported software (e.g. R, Tableau) and of basic data visualization principles.
Our role is to assist you with your data visualization, rather than to create visualizations for you. It is the researcher's responsibility to ensure that the research design, analysis, and presentation are justified and appropriate for the discipline at hand.
