Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP)

UCDP Research Coordinator Therese Pettersson has made this year’s Clarivate’s “Highly Cited Researchers” list, which covers the most cited researchers worldwide over the past decade. This is probably the first time a researcher from our department has managed this.

We congratulate Therese and the entire Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) team on this impressive achievement!

Swedish higher education institutions have 69 researchers on the list. Five of them are employed at Uppsala University. Out of the included Swedish researchers, six are in the social sciences.

DEMSCORE version 5.0 includes additional datasets from Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP): The Cities and Armed Conflict Events (CACE), Deadly Electoral Conflict dataset (DECO), and the Ethnic One-Sided Violence (EOSV) Dataset.

The Cities and Armed Conflict Events (CACE) dataset is an extension of the UCDP-GED, which covers individual events of organized violence (phenomena of lethal violence occurring at a given time and place). The CACE extension provides a systematic coding of whether these armed conflict events took place in cities.

The Deadly Electoral Conflict dataset (DECO) is a global, geo-referenced event dataset, based on UCDP data, identifying electoral violence with lethal outcomes from 1989 to 2017.

The Ethnic One-Sided Violence (EOSV) Dataset is an actor-year dataset with information on the ethnic identity of civilian victims of direct and deliberate killings by state and non-state actors from 1989 to 2013. The dataset is based on the UCDP One-Sided Violence Dataset version 1.4-2014.
