The Journal of Anomalous Phenomena (JAP) — Scientific Investigation of UAP and Related Phenomena is an diamond open-access scientific journal dedicated to the rigorous, methodologically sound investigation of unidentified, unexplained, and physically/atmospherically anomalous observations, measurements, and phenomena.

JAP does not adopt any prior hypothesis regarding the nature, origin, or ultimate ontology of the phenomena it examines. The journal's core mission is not to serve as a bridge between dogmatic rejection and non-scientific speculation, but rather to build an independent academic ground governed entirely by empirical method, falsifiability, and transparent data analysis.

Historically, science has always advanced by studying phenomena "at the boundary" — from thunderstones (meteorites) to atmospheric electrical events, from transient signals in radio astronomy to quantum anomalies. JAP continues this tradition by examining Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and other related frontier phenomena using the shared tools of the natural sciences, engineering, data sciences, and human sciences.
