A nice little paper arguing that Chord diagrams are generally harder to understand than Sankney plots for the same data. Relevant for when people will next request the "nice circular diagrams" for a bioinformatics analysis: https://dl.acm.org/doi/fullHtml/10.1145/3544548.3581119

@modrak_m interesting that in bioinformatics these are still in use... Ecological networks moved away from circular representations into bipartite graphs (even though not calling it sankey) about 10-15 years ago...
