BELIV 2016 Impact award
We took BELIV's 10 year anniversary as an opportunity to investigate how our papers have been received and decided to give out an impact award for the most influential paper. We are happy to announce that the most viewed, cited, and downloaded BELIV paper is "Strategies for Evaluating Information Visualization Tools: Multi-dimensional In-depth Long-term Case Studies" by Ben Shneiderman and Catherine Plaisant. Congratulations Ben and Catherine!
