Visualization research tends to de-emphasize consideration of the textual context in which its images are placed. We argue that visualization research should consider textual representations as a primary alternative to visual options when assessing designs, and when assessing designs, equal attention should be given to the construction of the language as to the visualizations. We also call for a consideration of readability when integrating visualizations with written text. In highlighting these points, visualization research would be elevated in efficacy and demonstrate thorough accounting for viewers' needs and responses.

翻译：可视化研究往往弱化了对其图像所嵌入的文本语境的关注。我们主张，可视化研究在评估设计方案时，应将文本表征作为视觉方案的优先替代选项，并在评估过程中，对语言构建与可视化设计给予同等关注。同时，我们呼吁在可视化与书面文本整合时需考虑可读性。强调这些要点将提升可视化研究的有效性，并充分体现对观众需求与反应的全面考量。
