The Journal of Parapsychology is a biannual peer-reviewed academic journal covering research on psi phenomena, including telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis, as well as human consciousness in general and anomalous experiences.
It was established in April 1937 by Joseph Banks Rhine (Duke University).[1] It is published by the Rhine Research Center and the current editor-in-chief is Sally Ann Drucker (Rhine Research Center).[2] The journal is abstracted and indexed in PsycINFO.[3] It publishes research reports, theoretical discussions, book reviews, and correspondence, as well as the abstracts of papers presented at the Parapsychological Association's annual meeting.[4]
According to Anomalistic Psychology authored by Chris French, et al, it is "widely recognized as the highest quality journal within the field." However, parapsychology has been criticized as being a pseudoscience, and the majority of mainstream scientists reject it.
