📊 The two most used sources of conflict data are @ucdp.bsky.social and ACLED. A recent article examines which factors drive the differences observed in these two datasets.

- Source evaluation standards matter more than sourcing strategies.
- Stable definitions are essential for reliable measurement, not a flaw. (3/3)
ucdp.bsky.social
Some key findings:
- Most differences stem from how projects handle ambiguity & uncertainty in poor information environments.
- Auxiliary coding rules (e.g., counting "people killed" as 2 vs 10 fatalities) explain 90%+ of differences in some cases. (2/3)

A new article by UCDP's Magnus Öberg and Mert Can Yilmaz in Research & Politics reveals that differences between major conflict datasets aren't driven by sourcing strategies or inclusion thresholds as previously claimed (1/3)

In their latest paper, @realmps.bsky.social and @corinnebara.bsky.social dive into the connections between different forms of war-related UCDP violence and specific civil wars. A valuable read for anyone looking to understand how various forms of violence intersect and impact conflict dynamics.

🚨 Publication Alert 🚨

In our new paper (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...), @corinnebara.bsky.social and I discuss the challenges of attributing data on different forms of violence to specific civil wars.
