Based on the current status and trends of S&T (science and technology) policy communication, this paper establishes the concept of policy visualization and describes the main applicability of visual policy. Next, we study the procedural requirements of S&T policy visualization on four aspects: subject selection, content analysis and information processing, policy graphic designation, media promotion. By this study, we recognize that the visualization of China’s S&T policy has some problems, such as, the difficulty in the definition of the authority of policy graphics, in homogeneity and the lack of dynamics in the effect of graphic policy and so on. Furthermore, the paper puts forward some suggestions to improve the development of S&T policy visualization according to the existing problems.
