The Academy's semi-annual Journal for Spiritual and Consciousness Studies, publishes scholarly papers and book reviews. A subscription to the Journal comes with membership in the Academy. Here are some examples of the type of articles published over the past few years. (Up until 2015, the Journal was published quarterly.)

• Two new procedures that connect people with loved ones in spirit
• Roswell on Mt. Royal: of spirits & aliens
• Table tapping and table lifting
• Three materialization séances with David Thompson
• Psyche and the sexes, or gender differences and the paranormal
• Losing faith and gaining perspective: How trauma and loss can create a more spacious form of spiritual awareness
• The strange case of Becky Carter

The Journal spans three eras. The first, under the title The Journal of Religion and Psychical Research (JRPR), belonged to a time when this organization was the academic affiliate of Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship, and was known as the Academy of Religion and Psychical Research (ARPR). The second era, under the title Journal of Spirituality and Paranormal Studies (JSPS), began as a result of the transition of ARPR to the Academy of Spirituality and Paranormal Studies, Inc. (ASPSI), as an independant organization. ASPSI's publications began in January 2006, but, to emphasise the continuity, the sequence of volume numbers was not broken. The current name was instituted when the Academy's name was changed in 2012. (In the interest of accuracy, it should be noted that the first issue of JSPS, January 2006, wrongly appeared as an issue of ARPR. In fact it was the first issue of the ASPSI journal.)

Back issues of the JSPS from January 2006 to the present may be purchased via  PayPal. Click here to examine contents and to order.

JRPR Index - January 1979 through October 2005 This index can be accessed on the site of the Theosophical Society in Australia. [It continues into 2006 without acknowledgment of the transition to ASPSI's journals, but this overlap may be disregarded in view of ASPSI's own indexing as provided above.]
