  Visualization design study research methodologies emphasize the need for
reflection to generate knowledge. And yet, there is very little guidance in the
literature specifying what reflection in the context of design studies actually
involves. We initiated a community discussion on this topic through a panel at
the 2017 IEEE VIS Conference - this report documents the panel discussion. We
analyze the panel content through the lense of our own reflective experiences
and propose several priorities for ongoing thinking on reflection in applied
visualization research.
