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.
