As longtime readers know, my first real online work was a guide to the logical fallacies. So I have an ongoing interest in the subject. This article is a newly revised SEP entry on the subject, and while it is nicely comprehensive, it will need some updating fairly soon. For one thing, the domain of fallacies is not limited to argumentation, which is why my own guide lists fallacies of definition and explanation. And while there is a section at the end on biases, it really doesn't grapple with the tension between the ideas of logical fallacies and cognitive biases.
