Writing for Studies
Studies in Intelligence is a journal written for and by intelligence practitioners, educators, students, and the well-informed public. Sustaining any journal for seven decades is no small feat, and Studies has been able to do that because of a devoted cadre of writers wanting to contribute to the “elevated debate” envisioned by CIA trailblazer Sherman Kent. Many of these write for the journal one time on an issue or event important to them; a much smaller number of authors join a cadre of regular contributors exploring the theory, history, practice, and future of intelligence. Many contribute their views on published literature on these subjects. However you envision your role, we hope this guide to writing for the journal will encourage you to make your own mark in the literature of intelligence.
