The Journal of Scientific Exploration is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal of fringe science published by the Society for Scientific Exploration that was established in 1987. 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.

Famous quotes containing the word scientific:
“We have our little theory on all human and divine things. Poetry, the workings of genius itself, which, in all times, with one or another meaning, has been called Inspiration, and held to be mysterious and inscrutable, is no longer without its scientific exposition. The building of the lofty rhyme is like any other masonry or bricklaying: we have theories of its rise, height, decline and fall—which latter, it would seem, is now near, among all people.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
