"The Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal: The Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal attempts to encourage the critical investigation of paranormal and fringe-science claims from a responsible, scientific point of view and to disseminate factual information about the results of such inquiries to the scientific community and the public. To carry out these objectives the Committee: Maintains a network of people interested in critically examining claims of the paranormal; Prepares bibliographies of published materials that carefully examine such claims; Encourages and commissions research by objective and impartial inquiry in areas where it is needed; Convenes conferences and meetings; Publishes articles, monographs, and books that examine claims of the paranormal; Does not reject claims on a priori grounds, antecedent to inquiry, but rather examines them objectively and carefully. The Committee is a nonprofit scientific and educational organization. The Skeptical Inquirer is its official journal." -- from the rear outer cover.
