ABSTRACT
As intelligence studies has grown as a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary field, publication venues have proliferated. This article surveys journals that publish primarily intelligence studies articles to provide scholars and researchers with an understanding of where to submit their papers for publication. It could also provide librarians, students, and the public with an understanding of how to access knowledge about intelligence. It does so by constructing a typology of different kinds of journals that publish intelligence studies articles and evaluates the tradeoffs of each kind of publication outlet.
