The Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE) is a quarterly publication of the Society for Scientific Exploration (founded in 1982). According to its mission statement, this publication "was established in 1987 to provide a professional forum for the presentation, scrutiny and criticism of scientific research on topics outside the established disciplines of mainstream science." [1]
Topics and policies
JSE publishes scholarly papers on topics such as alternative medicine, consciousness, paranormal phenomena, reincarnation and the UFO phenomenon. [1][2] [3] [4] The policy of the magazine is to maintain a critical view by presenting both sides of an argument so as not to advocate for or against any of the published topics.[5][6] Some regard the publication as a legitimate attempt to explore the frontiers of science,[7][8][9] others view it as a forum for scientifically objectionable ideas.[10]
