D&I 学术讲座 / Martin Epple / Visualizing Literature Reviews 文献综述可视化

文献综述在任何学术研究中都处于核心地位——无论是独立的综述文章，还是作为学术论文或学位论文的一部分。在这场讲座中，Martin Eppler 深入探讨文献综述这一体裁，重点关注对现有文献和综述发现进行可视化的前沿实践及创新方法。他将阐述可视化方法对于提升文献综述的相关性与严谨性的优势，并深入探讨当前对文献综述各要素（如研究方法、研究领域及研究发现）进行可视化的实践方法。他还将介绍“revpatterns”的概念，将其定义为“一种广泛适用、易于使用且有用的图示化文献综合模板，用于处理综述语料库”。基于 Christopher Alexander（1977）提出的“pattern language”，“revpatterns”旨在综合在审阅学术文献时普遍遇到的问题，以及一系列可用于解释和应对此类问题的视觉解决方案。本次讲座呈现丰富的可视化案例，可视化模板库以及“revpatterns”的初步类型学。其目标在于突破现有的可视化实践（如 PRISMA 流程图），以实现更深远的学术影响并提供科学论述。

The literature review is central to any academic research – whether as a stand-alone article or part of a research article or a student's dissertation. In this public lecture, Martin Eppler will delve into the genre of literature review, focusing on current and novel practices for visualizing the extant literature and the review findings. After outlining the benefits for using visualization in literature reviews in terms of relevance and rigor, he will delve into current practices for visualizing the various elements of the literature review (e.g. the methods, field, and findings). He will then introduce the revpatterns, which he defines as "widely and easily useable as well as useful graphic literature synthesis templates for a review corpus." Based on Christopher Alexander's (1977) pattern language, the revpatterns synthesize problems commonly encountered in reviewing the academic literature, along with a repertoire of visual solutions that can be usefully leveraged to interpret and address such problems. The lecture will include a wide range of visual examples, a gallery of visual templates, and a preliminary typology of revpatterns. The aim is to move beyond current visualization practices (e.g. PRISMA) to achieve greater impact and illuminate scientific discourse.
