Visualization publications dataset

We are making available a dataset that contains information on IEEE Visualization (IEEE VIS) publications from 1990-2024 as well as IEEE TVCG and IEEE CG&A article published at IEEE VIS. 

The dataset includes a variety of information about each paper including title, authors, DOI, etc., as well as a list of the citations to other previous VIS papers. To download the dataset open the Google spreadsheet through the button below and choose File->Download as. The IEEE VIS papers are on the main tab (called Main dataset) and the journal papers presented at VIS are on the second tab called (Journal Papers Presented at VIS). In the third tab (Paper Numbers and Acceptance Rates) you find an overview of the number of papers submitted to each track and their respective acceptance rates over the years.

If you spot errors in the dataset feel free to leave a comment in the respective cells. We try to maintain and fix the spreadsheet.

NEW: There is now a Github repository in case you are interested in the source code to maintain the dataset. 

Current version: 13
