🦉 BIG update to vispubs.com!! 🚀 I pushed CHI, EuroVis, and VIS 2025 late last night. I'm especially excited by the many amazing research artifacts available for VIS this year. I'm always so inspired by the creativity, technical abilities, and academic rigor of our community.

Summary of new resources available on vispubs. 138 paper preprints, 1 video, 33 websites, 17 links to code, and 131 "other". These are across new papers in CHI (89), EuroVis (49), and VIS (131).

🚀 Big update to VisPubs ( and I'm not just talking about the new logo 🦉)! You can now filter visualization publications by year, venue, awards, and resources! Also, the URL has moved to vispubs.com, and I've added a dark mode for all you night owls 🦉.

User interface of vispubs showing different filters applied. As filters are applied the paper list and counts update dynamically. Papers are filtered to 2019 and earlier; InfoVis, SciVis, and VAST; Best Paper and Honorable Mention; and with an open source Paper linked, resulting in 12 papers out of the original thousands.

Happy holidays! As a 🎁 to all of you, I've added a new feature to www.vispubs.devinlange.com You can now export data! I plan to use this as a convenient way to start literature reviews.

Selecting an export button brings up options to export the selected paper metadata as an Excel, JSON, or CSV file. The JSON and CSV options also let you copy the data to the clipboard.

And if you really want to get wild, you can look for papers that include links in their abstract (no, I did not write this regex) www.vispubs.devinlange.com?search=%28ht...

A web interface with a specific paper title, authors, and abstract displayed. A URL is highlighted.

Finding papers that include multiple keywords is also possible. e.g. if you want to get a list of papers authored by @alex-lex.bsky.social AND @ngehlenborg.bsky.social www.vispubs.devinlange.com?search=%5E%2...

Web interface with regex query that matches “Alexander Lex” and “Nils Gehlenborg” in search bar. A regex button is turned on.

Regex is also supported! The simplest thing I find useful is matching multiple keywords. E.g. if you want to find papers that mention "color" OR "colour" so 🇬🇧 isn't left out you can search for "color|colour". www.vispubs.devinlange.com?search=color...

Web interface with “color|colour” in search bar, US, and british spelling, separated by a pipe character. A regex button is turned on.

Matching the case is a good way to search for words in the title. www.vispubs.devinlange.com?search=Desig...

Web interface with “Design Study” in search bar, capitalized. A Match Case button is turned on. All the results have “Design Study” highlighted in the title.

I had an amazing time at my first Dagstuhl discussing biomed visualizations, visiting iron factories, and hunting werewolves (unsuccessfully).

Schloss Dagstuhl or Castle Dagstuhl. A gate is open for computer scientist researchers to enter a courtyard surrounded by a modest white castle.

Me! Devin Lange! In front of the old castle ruins. Wearing a branded University of Utah jacket, specifically for the Kahlert School of Computing.

Me! Devin Lange! In front of an old German iron factory. The rusted buildings tower in the background.

The bridge between the castle and newer building at Dagstuhl. It has a fun sentence on it that spans the bridge. "Is between between is and between or between or and and or between...."
