Using citation, co-citation, and author collaboration analyses, the study provides insights into the intellectual structure of this important field. The findings reveal key themes and subtopics that are gaining attention, such as the impact of technology on the collection and dissemination of intelligence information, the role of communications in intelligence operations, and ethical and legal considerations related to intelligence communications. In addition, the study identified important patterns in author collaboration, indicating a trend toward cross-disciplinary research and knowledge exchange. The bibliometric analysis also reveals opportunities for further research, such as the role of social media and digital platforms in shaping public perceptions of national security and the impact of artificial intelligence and machine learning on intelligence communications. By mapping the research landscape, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the concepts, theories, and methodologies that shape intelligence communication in the context of national security while highlighting potential future research directions. ## Keywords - Context (archaeology) - National security - Knowledge management - Data science - Perception - Sociology - Engineering ethics - Bibliometrics - Intelligence analysis - Key (lock) - Computer science - Public relations - Social media - Political science - Intelligence cycle - Information and Communications Technology - Social network analysis - Communication studies - Competitive intelligence - Scientometrics - Management science --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
