Visual Science Stories
3 reportsResearch on Visual Science Stories examines how scientific claims are sourced, reported, updated, and placed in context as evidence changes. Credibility depends on telescope imagery, scale bars, and primary observations, with the status of the source and any later correction made explicit.
New findings on correction history are read with false-color processing and satellite observations. This comparison explores where visualization can mislead and how the image was produced, making peer review status and later corrections explicit.
