Rationale

Dimension Rationale
Reliability Medium — preprint scoping review using BERTopic analysis. Systematic methodology but limited to two venues (AIES and FAccT).
Relevance Medium — does not directly measure safety-ethics homophily, but its finding that safety is underrepresented in ethics-focused venues provides indirect corroboration of the divide.
Bias flags Missing data concern: examines only AIES and FAccT, both of which are ethics-leaning venues. Safety research is concentrated in different venues (e.g., NeurIPS SafeRL workshops), so the absence of safety themes may reflect venue selection rather than field-wide patterns.
