Abstract
This study assesses the potential of data visualization to assist in effectively communicating research. Although it is fairly new for development researchers, it affords opportunities to both transform and display data through relatively simple changes. These capabilities are extremely useful within complex and changing environments, which are akin to the contexts surrounding IDRC-supported projects. 21 examples are chosen from IDRC-supported research, grouped into five broad areas: color, sorting tables, chart types, clarity, and interaction.
