Resumen

A pesar del creciente número de sistemas de creación de visualización de datos en los últimos años, sigue siendo un desafío combinar en un mismo sistema un alto poder expresivo y facilidad de uso. En este artículo presentamos SCImago Graphica, una aplicación no-code (el usuario no necesita programar) que permite la creación de visualizaciones complejas mediante interacciones simples de arrastrar y soltar. Los usuarios vinculan las variables de datos a los diferentes canales de codificación y definen las opciones específicas de cada vinculación, y el software genera la visualización gráfica interactiva a partir de esa información. Gracias a su eficiencia de uso, SCImago Graphica no solo es adecuada para la comunicación visual de datos, sino también para el análisis exploratorio de datos. Evaluamos la expresividad y facilidad de uso de SCImago Graphica a través de varios ejemplos de construcción de gráficos y un catálogo de visualizaciones. Los resultados muestran que SCImago Graphica permite crear una amplia variedad de visualizaciones de datos de forma rápida y sencilla.
