The purpose of this survey is to help the Data Visualization Society and the broader data visualization community understand the state of data visualization, the people who make it, the challenges they face, what can help practitioners, and where the field is headed.

This survey has eight main sections:
  • Roles and Experience
  • Compensation and Location
  • Your Data Viz Work (matching the role(s) you choose in Question 1*)
  • Charts and Tools
  • Challenges and Changes
  • Looking Ahead
  • Time and Inspiration
  • Demographics
The entirety should take 15-20 minutes depending on your data viz role(s) and interest. All questions are optional,* and your answers are anonymous. (*Question 1 is technically required, but “Prefer not to answer” is an option.)

Any potentially identifying information will be kept strictly confidential, accessible only by the DVS board and survey organizing committee. Our provisions for your privacy are detailed here, with examples from past years, under “How will we handle your data?”

By taking this survey, you contribute to a multi-year dataset that helps practitioners: (1) identify benchmarks for income decisions. (2) Explore questions about tools usage, career paths, learning resources, and more. (3) Recommend ways to serve the international data visualization community better.

The survey will close on October 8, 2022. Please complete it by then, and share it with anyone who visualizes data!
