Abstract

Visualization is essential for interpreting data, especially in scientific research where datasets often come from experiments or simulations. Data visualization techniques vary based on the data type. For example, mapping can illustrate city traffic incidents, while bar plots can identify the most common incidents. This paper presents VisUAM (Visualizador UAM), a web-based tool for creating graphics from various datasets across any domain. The current version of VisUAM supports data from three scientific software tools: Pore Networks, Voronoi Diagrams, and Particle Diffusive Simulator. VisUAM’s architecture allows easy integration of any data type and supports multi-dimensional visualizations, including 2D, 3D, and animations. Its flexibility, web-based accessibility, and adaptability to new visualization needs make VisUAM a versatile and comprehensive platform for researchers.

VisUAM：科学研究数据可视化网络工具

可视化对于解读数据至关重要，尤其是在科学研究中，数据集通常来自实验或模拟。数据可视化技术因数据类型而异。例如，地图可以说明城市交通事故，而柱状图则可以确定最常见的事故。本文介绍的 VisUAM（Visualizador UAM）是一种基于网络的工具，用于从任何领域的各种数据集创建图形。当前版本的 VisUAM 支持来自三种科学软件工具的数据：孔隙网络、沃罗诺图和粒子扩散模拟器。VisUAM 的架构允许轻松集成任何数据类型，并支持多维可视化，包括二维、三维和动画。VisUAM 的灵活性、基于网络的可访问性以及对新可视化需求的适应性使其成为研究人员的多功能综合平台。

期刊介绍： SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
