ISD Publications

ISD publishes work in a range of formats for different audiences, including policymakers, media, civil society and the wider public. Our publications cover a broad range of topics, from the spectrum of extremism to information operations to tech accountability.

Reports leverage qualitative and quantitative research techniques to analyse trends related to hate, extremism and information operations. Reports also provide useful insights into ways in which policies could be changed to combat these challenges.  

Dispatches are shorter form articles providing quick-fire analysis and the latest data-driven research on the issues of the day. 

Explainers are accessible introductions to a range of subjects and terms.
