Year to Date
See above. And now, the beginning of my long slog up the meaningless table.
Numbers drawn from the most recent Strange Horizons Count, which isn’t all that recent anymore.
Key: WNB stands for “women and non-binary genders”, while POC stands for “person of colour”. R stands for reviewer. R/R stands for “reviews/reviewers”. For R/R % the percentage represents the site’s R/R over my 2015 R/R. POC/R is the ratio of reviews of works by POC to reviewers at that site. POC/R % is the previous ratio expressed as a percentage. SFX is actually called SFX; it is not short for anything. Same with io9. F&SF is the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. SFS is Science Fiction Studies. LARB is the Los Angeles Review of Books. CSZ is the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
