The West Virginia University Libraries support the use of data analysis and visualization (DAV) to enhance research, instruction, and informed decision-making across disciplines. By providing access to tools, guidance, and best practices, we aim to foster clear communication, responsible data use, and evidence-based inquiry.

Data analysis and visualization are essential parts of the research data lifecycle—from exploring raw datasets to producing impactful, publication-ready visual outputs. Whether you're interpreting quantitative data, identifying trends, or sharing results with diverse audiences, effective DAV practices improve understanding, reproducibility, and transparency.
