Has MIRI pulled back from trying to get academic publications? I noticed there's no new journal articles for 2015.

Is this due to low impact factor?

https://intelligence.org/all-publications/

“The Errors, Insights and Lessons of Famous AI Predictions – and What They Mean for the Future.”

Cited by 3 (of which 1 is a self-cite)

“Why We Need Friendly AI.”

Cited by 5

“Exploratory Engineering in AI.”

Cited by 1 (self cite)

“Embryo Selection for Cognitive Enhancement: Curiosity or Game-Changer?”

Cited by 4 (of which 1 is a self cite)

“Safety Engineering for Artificial General Intelligence.”

Cited by 11 (of which 6 are self cites)

“How Hard Is Artificial Intelligence? Evolutionary Arguments and Selection Effects.”

Cited by 7 (of which 1 is a self cite)

“Advantages of Artificial Intelligences, Uploads, and Digital Minds.”

Cited by 8 (of which 2 are self cites)

“Coalescing Minds: Brain Uploading-Related Group Mind Scenarios.”

Cited by 7 (of which 2 are self cites)

MIRI seems to have done OK re the general public and generally more people seem willing to voice concern over AI related X-risk but almost nobody seems willing to associate it with MIRI or lesswrong which is a bit sad.

Has MIRI engaged any kind of PR firms for dealing with this? Either ones with an academic or public focus?
