Academic reception

Data from the ICB has been referenced in a number of academic papers studying the patterns of conflicts and international crises.[2][3][4] It was also used in Chapter 3 of the book What Do We Know About War? edited by John A. Vasquez.[5] The Forecasting Principles website lists the ICB Project as an important data resource in the analysis of conflict and terror.[6]
