Hello everyone,

Visualizing data is important, especially when communicating findings with policymakers (whose time is limited!). In this week’s blog post, my colleague Bastien St-Louis Lalonde discusses a quick and intuitive way to present lots of data in a single visual. This positional analysis highlights quickly how various countries (or other entities) compare, along several dimensions. You can read the full post here: http://www.sciencemetrics.org/positional-analysis/

In the coming weeks, we’ll also be rolling out a series of visualizations on Twitter (www.twitter.com/ScienceMetrix) using this format. The blog post will get you up to speed so that you can get full value out of those visuals.

Enjoy!

Brooke
