Skeptical Inquirer is a bimonthly American magazine published by the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI) with the subtitle: The magazine for science and reason.CSI's mission statement is to "encourage the critical investigation of paranormal and fringe-science claims from a responsible, scientific point of view and disseminate factual information about the results of such inquiries to the scientific community and the public." Skeptical Inquirer is an international magazine, but is not a formal scientific journal.For the thirtieth anniversary of the Skeptical Inquirer in 2006, CSICOP founder Paul Kurtz listed four long-standing policies: to criticize claims of the paranormal and pseudoscience to replicate the methods of scientific inquiry and the nature of the scientific outlook to seek a balanced view of science in the mass media to teach critical thinking in the schools.If an article criticizes a proponent of a paranormal claim, he or she is always given an opportunity to respond.The magazine was originally titled The Zetetic and was founded and originally edited by Marcello Truzzi.
