PS: Note that publication of the newsletter's December issue had to be postponed by one week to Wednesday January 6 or a bit later. (It's tied to the Signpost's publication schedule, whose December 23 issue was skipped with the December 30 issue going out ahead of time instead, too early for the research newsletter.)
We could still use reviewers for this issue - e.g I would love it if someone could provide an informed view of the "Conflict and Computation on Wikipedia" paper (which intriguingly "suggests that policy-makers may be limited in their ability to manage conflict, and that bad actors and exogenous shocks are less effective in causing conflict than is generally believed"). In any case, apologies to our readers for the delay.
