An interesting find from VisWeek is the “Delft Visualization Group Start Kit”, a collection of required-reading for all PhD or Master’s candidates in the program. It’s only 5 papers, but it’s a good core foundation for anything interested in Scientific Visualization research.

Thanks for posting this!
I have to point out that the DVSK is for the largest part based on Dr. Bob Laramee’s PVSK http://www.cs.swan.ac.uk/~csbob/research/starterKit/ with Dr. Tamara Munzner’s great papers added to the mix (this is also stated on the DVSK web-page of course).
