[edit intro]

The Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE) is a quarterly publication of the Society for Scientific Exploration (founded in 1982).[1] According to the society newsletter sidebar, "Since 1987, the JSE has published research on consciousness, ufos, alternative energy, and many more scientific anomalous related topics." [2][3] According to their newsletter, "The Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) is a multidisciplinary professional organization of scientists and other scholars committed to studying phenomena that cross or are outside of the traditional boundaries of science and, for these or other reasons, are ignored or studied inadequately within mainstream science."[2]

## Topics and policies[edit]

JSE publishes scholarly papers on topics such as alternative medicine, consciousness, paranormal phenomena, reincarnation and the UFO phenomenon. [3][4] [5] [6] 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.[7][8] Some regard the publication as a legitimate attempt to explore the frontiers of science,[9][10][11] others view it as a forum for scientifically objectionable ideas.[12]
