The document provides advice on how to write a good research paper by focusing on conveying the main idea clearly and engaging the reader. It recommends presenting the problem and contributions upfront, using examples to introduce concepts before providing technical details, and giving appropriate credit to related work while acknowledging limitations. The goal is to communicate the core idea to readers in the most direct and accessible way.
Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
