Ray Hyman's Evaluation of Program on Anomalous Mental Phenomena, published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration in 1996, is a peer-reviewed critical evaluation of a government-funded program studying claimed psychic and remote-viewing phenomena. Hyman is a psychologist long associated with skeptical evaluation of parapsychological claims, and the Journal of Scientific Exploration, while it publishes on contested and fringe topics outside mainstream science's acceptance, did subject this piece to its own review process. Cite it as a documented critical assessment within that real dispute, one mainstream science does not treat as settled in the claimed phenomena's favor.
