Abstract

Narrative data visualization has emerged to meet the growing need to present data clearly and effectively to readers. The main objective of this research is to support the development of more appropriate and reader-centered narrative visualizations. A component structure developed in previous works requires additional studies to explore its application in different contexts, analyze various combinations of these structures, and possibly expand the set of narrative genres.
