- Wikipedia:WikiProject Maps/Conventions
- Wikimedia Commons already has many data graphics – see c:Category:Data graphics
- [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ 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
