Determining current uses of cartographic animation in geography through a journal content analysis

NACIS 2016 Presentation
Joanna Merson, Arizona State University
Animation offers a captivating and informative avenue for representing dynamic data in cartography. Likewise, leading cartographic research aims to improve animation use through data and user evaluation to establish best-practice guidelines. But how many of these guidelines actually reach the research community? This question is investigated using a content analysis determine how cartographic animation is used in major geography journals in the past 5 years. I specifically examine what types of animation are used, the purpose behind their use, and the congruence between the animations and the data represented. This analysis is used to examine both how cartographic animation is used outside of the cartographic research community, and if in the era of digital maps, there is a need for better facilitating methods for including animations in academic publications.
