Diagrams play a central role in many important endeavors.
Diagrams, the first journal to explore all aspects of the theory,
design and use of diagrams from multiple perspectives, will present high
quality peer reviewed research from all academic disciplines with the intention
of advancing our understanding of these fundamental forms of representation.
By investigating the nature of diagrammatic representations in the broadest
sense we hope to gain critical insights into our intellectual, cognitive,
social, cultural, and technological lives.
Diagrams targets topics that provide insight into the nature
and use of diagrams, including:
novel representations that support multiple tasks in substantial
domains
principles for the design of effective diagrams
encoding high dimensionality information in 2D displays
visual and cognitive processes underpinning diagram use
techniques and tools to support the creation of complex diagrams
social and cultural aspects of diagram use
analysis of alternative representations
historical evolution of representational systems
roles and use of multiple representations
experimental and analytic techniques for the study of diagrams
