| Summary/Abstract |
The academic discipline of Intelligence studies is a rather young field, especially when compared to other disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, and others. Sherman Kent first called attention to the lack of "intelligence literature" back in 1955, 1 the year that the Central Intelligence Agency published the first issue of its journal Studies in Intelligence. 2 Some two decades later, the Agency also created a Center for the Study of Intelligence, which opened its doors in 1974. 3 Moreover, during the following four decades, several peer-reviewed journals were launched in the area of intelligence-including the UK-based Intelligence and National Security and the U.S.-based International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence back in the mid- and late 1980s. 4 Two more journals followed some years later, the Germany-based Journal of Intelligence History in 2001 and the European Journal of Intelligence Studies in 2007.
