design).
PJIM is published quarterly by the
Parsons Institute for Information Mapping and focuses on both the theoretical
and practical aspects of information visualization. With each issue, the
Journal aims to present novel ideas and approaches that advance the field of
Knowledge Visualization through visual, engineering, and cognitive methods.
