Future opportunities for mobile thematic map design in data journalism

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Mobile devices are increasingly one of the most common ways the public interacts with maps, driving the need for research specific to mobile cartographic design (see Roth et al. 2023 for a recent research agenda).Of the 20 open research challenges developed by Roth and colleagues, my research focuses on the question: "What is mobile-first thematic map design?"Previous research in mobile cartography has primarily focused on navigation maps.However, determining best practices for the design of mobile thematic maps is also important, since these maps are central to science communication, data journalism, and other forms of information visualization.
