CSICOP
(The following words come from CSICOP's semi-monthly journal, The
Skeptical Inquirer)
The Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the
Paranormal (CSICOP) encourages the critical investigation of
paranormal and fringe-science claims from a responsible, scientific
point of view and disseminates factual information about the
results of such inquiries to the scientific community and to the
public. It also promotes science and scientific inquiry, critical
thinking, science education, and the use of reason in examining
important issues. To carry out these objectives, the Committee:
-- Maintains a network of people interested in critically examining
paranormal, fringe-science, and other claims, and in contributing
to consumer education.
-- Prepares bibliographies of published materials that careful
examine such claims.
-- Encourages research by objective and impartial inquiry in areas
where it is needed.
-- Convenes conferences and meetings.
-- Publishes articles that examine claims of the paranormal.
-- Does not reject claims on a priori grounds, antecedent to
inquiry, but examines them objectively and carefully.
The Committee is a non-profit scientific and educational organiza-
tion. The Skeptical Inquirer is its official journal, published
semi-monthly. Subscription prices (August 1995): one year (six
issues) $29.50; two years, $49; three years, $69.00. The address
is 3965 Rensch Road, Amherst, NY 14228-2743.
