In order to proof their approach, they point out introduction of the so called ‘learning organization’ rules into intelligence community, as well as clear system of certifi cation implemented. Moreover, they accentuate the fact of a development of academic institutions and internal system of education, created in order to improve the quality of work of intelligence analysts. The scholarity of intelligence studies may be also confi rmed by application of the most recent research methods and the recognition of publications by the scientifi c community, including granting of both professional and scholarly degrees on the basis of intelligence activity and analyses. Based on the arguments presented, the paper is concluded with a statement confi rming the hypothesis that the process of a creation of a new academic discipline: intelligence analysis, has been ongoing, even though still in a nascent stage. Not only the process of intelligence professionalization as a scholarly phenomenon is being discussed in the text, but also its ramifi cations for intelligence operation.
