"INTELLIGENCE" 2000 COVERAGE, ANALYSIS & INDEX Last year, we stated that "Each reader of 'Intelligence' could make his or her own subjective list of 'best 1999 articles', so we shall not" (INT, n. 359 1). This year, to help you make your choice, the complete 2000 list of tables of contents figures below. We also mentioned, last year, that "we can note for our readers major 'threads' which, characteristically enough, did not end in 1999." Sure enough, "the case of supposed Chinese theft of US nuclear weapon secrets" remained "front and center" on stage during 2000. Another 1999 "thread" was "the international liberalization of public encryption" which is now history, but the British Chinook crash is still "active", along with East German Stasti intelligence files. In 2000, we stopped doing "Open Source Intelligence", "Briefs" and "Overview of Media Coverage" articles and instead did more brief articles with the name of the specific country involved figuring in the title. Below, you will find the alphabetic list of all 84 countries treated in 2000 articles and the "top eleven" list of those countries which appeared most frequently. The complete index of "Intelligence" is a "raw data" index, meaning it indexes the exact term which appeared in the text. Indexes usually include only proper names, such as "John F. Kennedy" or "Francois Mitterrand", cited in a text. Often, scientific publications have both a "name" index and a "subject" index which includes terms such as "terrorism", "eavesdropping" and "money laundering". The 2000 "Intelligence" index goes even further and includes geographical names, such as "Washington", "New York" and "Paris", and the titles of all articles published in 2000. Each of the almost 10,000 entries has an issue number followed by a "page" number. To avoid confusion, the entries have not been condensed, meaning the term "CIA" has been indexed as a single entry for each 2000 issue in which it appeared. Also, when the term used was "Central Intelligence Agency", it too was indexed separately. All articles -- "full" or "brief" -- begin with one word (a country name or a topic) in capital letters followed by a dash, except in the section "Technology and Techniques" where the title is simply in capital letters. If it is a "full" article, the dash is followed by a title in capital letters. If it is a "brief" article, only first letters of title words are capitalized, as in the title of a book. When several articles have been published in 1999 on a country or topic, all the articles, "full" or "brief", are arranged in strictly alphabetic-numerical order (not chronological order) following the country name or topic. National institutions, such as intelligence services or political parties, are listed by either abbreviation or full name, but always under the name of the country to which they belong. Thus, "CIA" figures under "US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)" or "US CIA", and "KGB" under "Russia Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (KGB)" or "Russia KGB". We have made an effort to transliterate full names in original languages -- which cannot be transmitted easily over the Internet -- into standard American English spelling without accents (restricted ASCII format). Transliteration poses some problems for names using non-Latin alphabets and are often not standardized; the best example being "Colonel Muammar Qaddafi". We have tried to adhere to the accepted American spelling for such names, when possible. The index will be sent, following this issue, as four separate email files entitled: INT00AF, INT00GL, INT00MR and INT00SZ. If there are any problems with reception, please let us know.
