The Conversation

Nonprofit news outlet where academics write under their own byline on their own research area, edited by journalists rather than peer-reviewed. Publisher of ramos-controlling-variables. The spoke's first news-media publisher node, distinct from the academic (springer, mit-press), course-page/arXiv, and trade (oreilly-media) publishing routes already held — the author speaks directly to a lay reader, with an editor rather than a peer reviewer or a program committee in between.
