Research graphics are extremely useful in presenting the results of a research work, but care must be taken when choosing to convey the correct and clear message to the reader of the work. Below we have created a guide with the main cases, so that you can choose the right option when presenting your research data. Survey Charts: How to Choose graphics how to choose The image above is a practical and simple guide in English that we will detail in the sections below with practical examples in Portuguese. You can choose the correct chart by answering the 5 questions below: Want to compare values? Displaying value comparison with graphs is one of the best ways. The graphs below can highlight high and low values ​​in the display for a better comparison: Columns Bars Circular Area Lines Scatter Chart Do you want to show the composition of something? If you want to display the composition of values ​​segmented by the types that make up a total value, the graphs below are the most suitable.

Pizza Stacked Bars Area Funnel Do you want to understand the distribution of your data? If you want to display the composition of values ​​segmented by the types that make up a total value, the search graphs below are the most suitable: Scatter Chart Line Column Bars Interested in analyzing trends in your data? If the objective is to understand how the data behaves over time to detect trends, the low graphs are the best: Line Brazil Phone Number Data Line with two axes Columns Want to better understand the relationships between datasets? Relationship graphs are useful for understanding how one variable relates to another or a set of variables. The graphs can detect whether there is a relationship, whether this correlation is positive or negative. The most suitable for detecting these relationships are the graphs below: Scatter Chart Bubbles Lines If it was not possible to choose the chart based on the questions above, we will analyze each type of chart in more detail with the examples below: Tools for generating graphs Now that it has been possible to choose the research graph, it is necessary to know how to generate the graphs.



Below we have listed some tools that can help you generate graphics. Excel – one of the most used tools for generating simpler research graphs, Excel can help generate the first versions of graphs or for simpler work that does not require more advanced formatting. Matlab – for those who have programming skills and need to work with experimental simulations, Matlab is an excellent alternative for generating graphs more automatically. LaTeX – one of the tools most used by researchers to produce work, has some components that can be installed like  TikZ.
