Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the Informatics Journal welcomes submissions on the topic of Progressive Visual Analytics (PVA). PVA is motivated by both data size and complexity and computationally expensive analysis methods. The main idea behind PVA is to produce a sequence of partial results, either subdividing the data into chunks that are individually processed or designing the analytic process into computational steps that iteratively refine the analytic results. Using such strategies allows a PVA application to meet specific time constraints, which can range from tenths of seconds, to ensure interaction fluidity, to minutes or hours, to complete sub-tasks within application dependent timeframes. Dealing with partial results of increasing completeness and correctness calls for effective methods that inform the user of the usefulness and completeness of the intermediated results they are forced to deal with using a PVA solution.
We encourage authors to submit their original research articles, works in progress, surveys, reviews, and viewpoint articles in this field. This Special Issue welcomes applications, theories, models, and frameworks—whether conceptual, analytical, prescriptive, predictive, design-related, or otherwise—that are concerned with (but not limited to) the following topics as they relate to PVA:
- Adaptive data sampling/chunking

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Informatics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
