CHI Community, We invite you to contribute to BELIV 2020, the international forum to broadly discuss research methods in visualization. Submission deadline is July 10, 2020. BELIV (Evaluation and Beyond - Methodological Approaches for Visualization) is an international forum to broadly discuss research methods in visualization. BELIV spans novel and not-yet fully established evaluation methods for visualization tools and techniques through to methods that more generally establish the validity and scope of acquired visualization knowledge. BELIV supports contributions and discussions from the rich spectrum of visualization researchers, embracing the varied ways that researchers self-identify with respect to the main conference tracks at VIS. In addition to BELIV’s commitment to research methods, this year’s timely focus topic is: From a Distance: Research practices during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. This topic is focused on assessing our challenges and sharing our experiences in conducting research during the COVID-19 pandemic. Evaluations need to be conducted under conditions where researchers and participants are socially distant, confined at home, and without access to special equipment or a professional work environment, and teams need to maintain cohesion using solely digital communication tools. BELIV 2020 will be a place for the community to discuss and share what we’ve learned through navigating these unprecedented challenges, and what it might mean for the future of visualization research. BELIV welcomes paper submissions that describe experiences and challenges in conducting visualization research and evaluation as well as on the broader topic of research methods in visualization. BELIV 2020 will be a fully remote, virtual event due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and in alignment with the decision not to host a physical meeting for VIS 2020.
