Zimbardo has stated that the grant agreement with the [[Office of Naval Research]] included a requirement to publish data in their journal, ''Naval Research Reviews''. He states that the ''International Journal of Criminology and Penology'' invited Zimbardo to write about his study in their journal, and he then wrote an article with the ''New York Times Magazine'' to share the findings with a broad audience. He states that the article still needed to pass through the very strict requirements of the American Psychologist, the official journal of the [[American Psychological Association]], in order to be published. After publishing the article in the American Psychologist, the findings were also reported in other peer-reviewed journals and books.<ref name="auto"/>
