The semiotic content of visual design makes a foundation for non-verbal communication applied to practice, especially for visualizing knowledge. The ways signs convey meaning define the notion of semiotics. After inspection of the notions of sign systems, codes, icons, and symbols further text examines how to tie a sign or symbol to that for which it stands, combine images, and think figuratively or metaphorically. Further text introduces basic information about communication through metaphors, analogies, and about the scientific study of biosemiotics, which examines communication in living organisms aimed at conveying meaning, communicating knowledge about natural processes, and designing the biological data visualization tools.

In scientific communication, figures are typically rendered as static displays. This often prevents active exploration of the underlying data, for example to gauge the influence of particular data points or of particular analytic choices. Yet modern data visualization tools, from animated plots to interactive notebooks and reactive web applications, allow psychologists to share and present their findings in dynamic and transparent ways. In this tutorial, we present a number of recent developments to build interactivity and animations into scientific communication and publications, using examples and illustrations in the R language. In particular, we discuss when and how to build dynamic figures, with step-by-step reproducible code that can easily be extended to the reader’s own projects. We illustrate how interactivity and animations can facilitate insight and communication across a project lifecycle—from initial exchanges and discussions within a team to peer-review and final publication—and provide a number of recommendations to use dynamic visualizations effectively. We close with a reflection on how the scientific publishing model is currently evolving, and consider the challenges and opportunities this shift might bring along for data visualization.

This work presents a use case of building a data visualization interface for open-access repositories. The case in the analysis is the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD). From the almost 670,000 records of BDTD, one applies statistical methods using the language R. One of the visualization packages of R is called Shiny, which makes it easy to build interactive web applications straight from R. Through the app, a user can visualize data in a fast and customizable way. It could help to keep track of metadata and usage statistics over the repositories and also can be applied to discovering scientific information, such as bibliographic data and lists of specialists in a certain research domain. These data visualization tools can stimulate others to create open repositories and join either national, regional or international repositories networks.

Summary: The HeatMapViewer is a BioJS component that lays-out and renders two-dimensional (2D) plots or heat maps that are ideally suited to visualize matrix formatted data in biology such as for the display of microarray experiments or the outcome of mutational studies and the study of SNP-like sequence variants. It can be easily integrated into documents and provides a powerful, interactive way to visualize heat maps in web applications. The software uses a scalable graphics technology that adapts the visualization component to any required resolution, a useful feature for a presentation with many different data-points. The component can be applied to present various biological data types. Here, we present two such cases – showing gene expression data and visualizing mutability landscape analysis.Availability: https://github.com/biojs/biojs; http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7706.
