Resumen

Se analiza la inclusión de criterios de accesibilidad relacionados con las visualizaciones de datos presentes en las directrices para autores de un conjunto de congresos científicos de impacto. Se han analizado de manera sistemática las directrices para autores de los sitios web de 15 congresos. Se han identificado todas las referencias a las normativas de accesibilidad, las referencias específicas a diferentes perfiles de discapacidad, las barreras, los problemas comunes, las soluciones, las necesidades específicas y las directrices que abordan explícitamente la creación de gráficos accesibles. Tras identificar toda la información relevante, se ha categorizado utilizando una clasificación basada en 16 criterios. Los congresos analizados carecen de directrices suficientes para guiar a los autores en la creación de visualizaciones de datos accesibles. Mientras que las consideraciones sobre el color para las personas daltónicas se abordan habitualmente, se descuidan otros aspectos como el contraste o el uso de patrones o tramas para mejorar la diferenciación de los elementos gráficos. También se aborda la cuestión de los textos alternativos para las imágenes, pero las orientaciones para redactarlos son muy vagas y limitadas.
