Narrative visualization is characterized by the integration of data visualization and storytelling techniques. These characteristics provide challenges in its evaluation. Little is known about how these evaluation challenges are addressed by narrative visualization practitioners. We surveyed experienced narrative visualization practitioners to investigate their methods of evaluation. To gain deeper insight we conducted a series of semi-structured interviews with practitioners. We found that there is usually an informal approach to narrative visualization evaluation, where practitioners rely on prior experience and their peers for evaluation. Our study also revealed novel approaches to evaluation. We introduce a practice-led heuristic framework to aid practitioners to evaluate narrative visualization systematically. Our practice-led heuristic framework couples first-hand practitioner experience with recent research literature. This work sheds light on how to address narrative visualization evaluation to better inform both academic research and practice.
