Thank for sharing! This is a really interesting topic.
Quoted from the paper, 'Respondents’self-reported political party identification correlates at roughly 0.35 with our computational measure of conservative-liberal alignment', I am not sure this is a strong number to show correlation.
If I am understanding this correctly, the research only counts an editor's contribution to a certain topic yet not taking the tone of the articles into account. Is there some cases where an editor edits a page with a negative tone, i.e. argue against the topic, then the research is aligning the editor to his/her opposed party. To what extent would you consider this to be the cause of a relatively weak correlation?
