This Research Note summarizes the responses to a survey. Researchers were asked how they assess the current state of research in the field of Terrorism Studies. While there was only very limited consensus to be found in the answers to most of the questions, the individual insights and suggestions provided by the respondents nevertheless made the exercise worthwhile. This Research Note is the first of two, providing a snapshot of the responses to questions about Terrorism Studies, while the second will address the same respondents’ views on the current state of research in the field of Counter-Terrorism Studies.
