The Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE) is a quarterly publication of the Society for Scientific Exploration (founded in 1982). The mission statement of this publication states that it was established in 1987 to provide a professional forum for the presentation, scrutiny and criticism of scientific research on topics outside the established disciplines of mainstream science.

The Journal publishes scholarly papers on topics such as alternative medicine, astrology, consciousness, paranormal phenomena, reincarnation and UFOs.[1][2] Its "Instructions for Authors" states that papers are subjected to peer review "at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief".[3] 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.[4][5][citation needed] Some regard the publication as a legitimate attempt to explore the frontiers of science,[6][7][8] others view it as a forum for scientifically objectionable ideas.[9]

The Journal was founded by Stanford University professor Ronald A. Howard, who also started as Editor-in-Chief. This position was occupied by astrophysicist Bernard Haisch from 1988 to 1999, and is currently held by Henry Bauer, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry & Science Studies and Dean Emeritus of Arts & Sciences at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University.
