Technical Report on the Creation of Interactive Graphs for Fact Books using R and R Packages

This paper is a technical report on the creation of interactive graphs as part of Fact Book using open source and free software R and R packages. This technique makes it possible for institutional research (IR) offices with limited resources to create interactive graphs without the need of expensive business intelligence (BI) tools. Research shows that interactive graphs created from Fact Books enable organizations to optimally disclose a wide range of information to stakeholders.
