Things to do

Examples

Chart showing greenhouse gas emissions per person, by country, for countries with the most total emissions, with the area of each column showing total emissions
Rough timelines of domestication for 11 animal species^[1]^[a]
Maternal mortality rates per 100,000 births. A template to create U.S. choropleth maps. See examples and instructions.
Halogenated gas concentrations 1978-present
Estimated number of deaths from malaria per 100,000 people per country^[2]
Global number of years of potential life lost, by pathogen and infectious syndrome, 2019^[3]
An interactive SVG (click to use) – Comparison of male and female life expectancy at birth by country

Resources

Commons:Free media resources/Datagraphics
c:Category:Data graphics, e.g. many charts and maps can be found in c:Category:Our World in Data
c:Category:Interactive data graphics by Our World in Data
Wikipedia:Graphs and charts
Many studies contain data graphics, see c:Commons:Files from studies for information on how to find and upload them
Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions
Wikimedia Commons already has many data graphics – see c:Category:Data graphics
PubMed allows exporting results as csv with the "Download CSV" button in the top right for number of studies per year for the query.
Free tools to create data graphics with (e.g. from csv files) include kst, Gnuplot, LabPlot, (add more here)
Wikipedia:Timeline
c:User:RCraig09/Excel to XML for SVG, paste or enter your data into the spreadsheet which can then generate a column of XML code which you can save as an ".svg" file
Commons:Create charts and graphs online
Commons:Convert tables and charts to wiki code or image files
