#Makeover Monday wk 32 – How Much Countries Spends on R&D

For #MakeoverMonday week 32, The makeover viz was about how much countries spends on Research & Development and the original viz was shared on HowMuch.net

Here is the original viz :

Data is available on data.world and source of data was UNESCO Institute for Statistics

Whats good?

  • Clear Legends on specifying what color in the circle means in terms of spends
  • Design is eye-catching with too much of information for an individual to understand
  • Source of data is mentioned
  • Title which is self explanatory about the viz

Here is what I did:

  • After trying various methods to visualize this data, I finalize one approach of showing Top 10 countries by spends
  • Additionally I wanted show trend on spends by this countries and also compare 2 years i.e. 2015 vs 2014 to show the increase in spends by countries on R&D (Exception was India as dataset didn’t have 2012 to 2014 data)
  • While building the viz and trying to figure out visualization I came across this viz from Rody Zakovich and tried to replicate the similar design.

Here is the Image of the visualisation I created (Click on image to get interactive version):
