And now, the meaningless table.

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.
