CMiS: the Classification of Misinfovis Situations

This documents presents the Classification of Misinfovis Situations (CMiS), a classification systems that organises the formal characteristics of Misleading Information Visualisations (Misinfovis). Misinfovis Situations are those formal elements, visible when reading the Misinfovis, which indicate that something misleading has occurred during the visualisation process. CMiS is part of a doctoral research that explores the multimodality of Misinfovis on social media platforms during societal crises, and unpacks the first layer of this multimodal communication, that of the formal characteristics.
