The ''Journal of Scientific Exploration'' is a quarterly peer-reviewed〔 (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ebscohost.com/titleLists/a9h-journals.htm )〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/journalList/indexJournalDetailPopup.jsp?journalList_name=Journal+of+Scientific+Exploration&year_coverage=1987-1988,1990,1992,2000 )〕 academic journal of fringe science that was established in 1987.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scientificexploration.org/journal/ )〕 The journal is currently edited by parapsychologist Stephen E. Braude and published by the Society for Scientific Exploration. According to its mission statement, the journal provides a forum for research on topics "outside the established disciplines of mainstream science."〔 〕 The editors of the journal state that the periodical "publishes claimed observations and proffered explanations that will seem more speculative or less plausible than in some mainstream disciplinary journals. Nevertheless, those observations and explanations must conform to rigorous standards of observational techniques and logical argument."〔 〕 Critics of the journal regard it as a forum for promoting, not investigating, fringe science. == Topics and policies == The journal's website describes the publication's purpose as providing "a professional forum for presentations, criticism, and debate concerning topics which are for various reasons ignored or studied inadequately within mainstream science", and describes the Journal as a "critical forum of rationality and observational evidence for the often strange claims at the fringes of science."〔 Responding in part to opinion survey results indicating that many mainstream scientists were interested in reasoned examination and debate about unidentified flying objects, the journal was initially established to provide a forum for three main fields that had largely been neglected by mainstream science: ufology, cryptozoology, and parapsychology. It has also published research articles, essays, and book reviews on many other topics, including the philosophy of science, pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact, alternative medicine, the process of peer review for controversial topics,〔 〕 astrology, consciousness, reincarnation, minority opinion scientific theories, and paranormal phenomena.〔〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Journal of Scientific Exploration」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
