These are excellent. I do have a question about Stone et al. that wasn't raised (and is perhaps therefore stupid). Do the authors presume that the correlation between strength and weightlifting performance is linear or do they try to fit other curves? There's clearly a process of diminishing returns in strength as one progresses from novice to advanced athlete, which I'd guess looks logarithmic. Is the increase in power also logarithmic, resulting in a linear relationship between the two?
I say this as someone whose power-cleans are rather pathetic, and do not keep pace with the progress of my deadlift.
I'd very much like to read the sixth piece in part 2. Are these articles available anywhere?
These are the articles that were part of the bundle - not all were discussed at the 2015 Conference and you'll have to match them up yourself. The ones that did not have an accessible complete article are marked "(Abstract)":

Stef you are a gentleman and a scholar.
No, not a stupid question. One has more skill and speed elements required than the other. My son was at the OTC for a year and was a subject in that study. I recall that he was not impressed with it, he probably didn't care for the static strength measure and its coorelation to weightlifting performance.
