Anthology Standards

IPA welcomes the submission of articles, books, news items, and the written works of our members.


There are four criteria we use to determine if content is appropriate for the anthology:

  1. The content supports IPA’s mission:
    Our mission is to provide a forum for information professionals to interact, collaborate, and develop solutions that enhance the cognitive security of the US and our friends and allies. The IPA serves as the nexus for information professionals interested in the application of soft and hard science, advanced analytics, and innovative technologies to advance security, prosperity, shared values, and international order through the free flow of ideas and information.
  2. The content has some relationship to cognitive security as defined by IPA:
    Cognitive Security is a field concerned with influence and protection from influence of large groups of media users and consumers both online and offline. Although cognitive security emerges from social engineering and discussions of social deception in the computer security space, it differs in a number of important respects. In particular, Cognitive Security focuses on (1) the exploitation of cognitive biases in large public groups, (2) social influence as an end unto itself and (3) formality and quantitative measurement.
  3. The content typically is not an opinion piece.
  4. The content has been previously published by another source.

*Please be advised: The inclusion of a resource does not constitute an IPA endorsement of its contents. We strive to encourage critical thinking and the exploration of diverse viewpoints.

The IPA Anthology provides:

Diverse Contributions: Our anthology features contributions from a diverse spectrum of researchers, practitioners, and thought leaders covering a broad array of topics related to our members’ expertise. 

Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Our anthology bridges disciplines—drawing insights from information science, cognitive psychology, linguistics, and beyond. We celebrate the fusion of soft and hard sciences in advancing cognitive security.

Quantitative and Qualitative Rigor: As we emphasize formality and measurement in cognitive security, our anthology maintains a commitment to evidence-based approaches. We aim to prioritize data-driven discussions and empirical findings.
