  The tao of open source intelligence / Bertram, S.K. : Cambridgeshire IT Governance Publishing , 2015
  ...provides a comprehensive guide to OSINT techniques, for the investigator: It catalogues and explains the tools and investigative approaches that are required when conducting research within the surface, deep and dark webs. It explains how to scrutinise criminal activity without compromising your anonymity - and your investigation. It examines the relevance of cyber geography and how to get around its limitations. It describes useful add-ons for common search engines, as well as considering metasearch engines (including Dogpile, Zuula, PolyMeta, iSeek, Cluuz and Carrot2) that collate search data from single-source intelligence platforms such as Google. It considers deep-web social media platforms and platform-specific search tools, detailing such concepts as concept mapping, entity extraction tools and specialist search syntax (Google kung fu). It gives comprehensive guidance on Internet security for the smart investigator, and how to strike a balance between security, ease of use and functionality, giving tips on counterintelligence, safe practices and debunking myths about online privacy

  ''...develop a systematic literature review on OSINT to investigate the application of OSINT with AI. This work was motivated to fill this research gap, for this, consolidate the publications on OSINT divided into the publication bases. As for its contribution, this work presents a systematic literature review composed of 9-step and also brings consolidated information to support the next OSINT studies. This research searched for publications between January 1990 and October 2019, finding a total of 244 publications. The 9-steps of the systematic literature review are Definition of Keywords, Query string definition, the definition of publication bases, the search on the publications bases, the base search results analysis, download of publications, importing the publications into Mendeley, Importing. Ris file into VOSviewer and Keyword Map Analysis.''

  "Open source intelligence (OSINT) and its components in journalism, politics, business and similar fields offers the hidden power that the Internet offers to those who know how to search for information, how to separate fact from fiction. Putting a word or two into a computer's search box is not enough. The power of open source research is available for those who bend it to their needs."

  ...describes the current state of OSINT and makes a comprehensive review of the paradigm, focusing on the services and techniques enhancing the cybersecurity field. On the one hand, we analyze the strong points of this methodology and propose numerous ways to apply it to cybersecurity. On the other hand, we cover the limitations when adopting it. Considering there is a lot left to explore in this ample field, we also enumerate some open challenges to be addressed in the future. Additionally, we study the role of OSINT in the public sphere of governments, which constitute an ideal landscape to exploit open data
