Abstract
Visual displays allow for the presentation of information in a succinct and efficient way, however, they are not extensively used in qualitative research. There is a variety of types and uses of visual displays which include a range of forms and formats such as matrices, networks, drawings, or photographs. They serve different purposes depending on how they are used, who create them, what message they are intended to convey and where they are located in a research article. This presentation provides a classification of visual displays based on their occurrence within a research report, as well as a list of common characteristics, functionalities, and criteria for assessing usefulness of visuals in qualitative research articles. In addition, the researchers will discuss barriers to creation and application of visuals and implications for qualitative researchers interested to increase the use of visual in qualitative research articles.

Comments
This submission is in response to Dr. Chenail's invitation to participate in the conference. I am copying the message. I wondered if the paper should be in "panel" format per Dr. Chenail's comment.
