This article presents a new, monthly updated dataset on organized violence—the Uppsala Conflict Data Program Candidate Events Dataset. It contains recent observations of candidate events, majority which are eventually included in the Georeferenced Event Dataset as part its annual update after careful vetting process.

Here, provide a generalizable, cross-national measure of uncertainty around reported fatalities that is more robust realistic than UCDP's documented low high estimates, make available dataset R...
