Mark, a great visualization, logical in its approach. I second the request that the smaller text be in a solid black color.

Mark,

Thank you for this very detailed map of the Research Process – I think everyone should be of the research process and apply it in their research.

A couple of questions:
1. You have direct, indirect, and negative listed as different types of evidence – why was circumstantial left off?
2. The proof argument is good, but I wonder if more detail on establishing proof via Evidence Correlation would make it stronger?

Hopefully my questions are viewed as feedback and not criticism – I really appreciate your efforts!
An article that I’ve really enjoyed, and has been helpful in understanding the research process and the conceptual model of genealogical evidence has been:
Thomas W. Jones, “A Conceptual Model of Genealogical Evidence; Linkage between Present-Day Sources and Past Facts,” National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. 86, 5-18.

This is beautiful and will be very helpful. Just one comment. For those of us who have “older” vision, it would be more helpful to use black for the columns at the bottom, under “Define, Search Cite…” etc. Otherwise the colors are great.

Thanks for publishing this map – just what I needed to re-work my RootsMagic database -
