Summary

Problem described by #2846. The broken link may lead to confusion from potential users of Mesa and adds unnecessary hurdles to further learning by interested readers.

Fixes #2846 by changing the academic article reference link in the "Epstein Civil Violence" example to its corresponding doi equivalent.

Bug / Issue

Reading through the "Epstein Civil Violence" example in the Mesa documentation, users are referred to the original academic article under "Further Reading" (link). On clicking, however, the user is brought to "404 Page Not Found" on the PNAS website.

Implementation

Changed link in the Readme.md of the "Epstein Civil Violence" example to the correct and stable doi link (specifically https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.092080199).

Testing

Performed very much on-the-fly, so docs were not rebuilt locally. Given that only one line was changed and that the new link in the raw code can be quickly manually checked, this was considered fine.

Additional Notes
