The Psi Encyclopedia, an online reference resource maintained by the Society for Psychical Research summarizing the history and researchers of parapsychology. This atlas separately records several individual articles from this same encyclopedia, on the Society itself, the American Society for Psychical Research, the Hodgson Report, the Rhine Research Center, the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research laboratory, fraud in parapsychology, Leonora Piper, criticisms of reincarnation case studies, the medium Eva Carriere, the psychological aspects of poltergeist cases, and Tomokichi Fukurai; each of those is one entry inside this same continuously maintained project, so citing this general record alongside one of those articles, or citing two of those articles together, for the same claim is the Society's own editorial voice appearing more than once, not two independent lines of evidence. Use it for established biographical and historical facts about named parapsychology researchers and their work as this reference presents them; an advocacy-adjacent field reference produced by a psychical research organization rather than a religiously neutral academic body, so a claim about a study's scientific validity should be checked against independent peer-reviewed assessment where one exists.
