The number of people and institutions working to counter influence operations has increased rapidly in the last few years. But there has been little effort to study this emerging field of international practitioners and researchers.

How have governments, tech companies, and nonprofits around the world sought to counter influence operations? What key lessons have emerged from the explosion in academic research? What structural barriers are preventing innovative policies from being implemented? How can different disciplines and sectors better collaborate on common goals?

The Partnership for Countering Influence Operations is releasing a series of data sets and short essays exploring these questions. Our baselines seek to synthesize key insights from the counter–influence operations field and highlight how the field can operate more effectively. We also hope that other researchers will use our data sets to make their own discoveries.
