This book focuses on “diagrams” and includes academic research papers done in various areas, such as psychology, education, philosophy, engineering, and cognitive science. The importance of diagrams is widely known. For example, the “key competencies” which were proposed by the OECD also included the ability of people using external resources such as diagrams.
The book was published when the 9th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams (Diagrams 2016) was held in Philadelphia in the US. This conference is held once every two years. The book was published as the proceedings of this conference and all papers included in this book were peer reviewed. The acceptance rate of full research papers in this book was around 30%, so that it can be said that the quality of papers in the book is similar to that of peer-reviewed papers published in high-ranking international journals. All the papers have been indexed in the SCOPUS database.
The papers in this book have been organized into sections such as “cognitive aspects of diagrams”, “logic and diagrams”, “diagrams and education”, “design principle for diagrams”, and “diagrams layout”. The research in “cognitive aspects of diagrams” mainly examined the mechanism of why people can get the sense that we can understand more easily when a diagram is given compared to when verbal information only is provided. The research in “diagrams and education” includes studies promoting the effective use of diagrams. For example, Manalo and Uesaka (2016) empirically demonstrated how to promote university students’ spontaneous use of diagrams in written communication. Uesaka, Igarashi, and Suetsugu (2016) emphasized the importance of the ability to find a solution for controversial issues, which is called “multi-perspective integration”, and they demonstrated that diagram use (which here meant the use of tables) works effectively to enable this integration. In “design principles for diagrams” and “diagrams layout”, the principles for creating effective diagrams and concrete examples of effective diagrams were examined.
