The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI, formerly known as the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal, CSICOP^[1]^[2]), is a non-profit organization whose stated goal is "to promote scientific inquiry, critical investigation, and the use of reason in examining controversial and extraordinary claims."^[3] In addition, CSI "encourages the critical investigation of paranormal and fringe-science claims from a responsible, scientific point of view and disseminates factual information about the results of such inquiries to the scientific community and the public".

CSI was founded in 1976 by Paul Kurtz^[4]^[5]^[6], and its fellows have included many notable scientists, Nobel laureates, philosophers, educators, authors, and celebrities.^[7]^[8]^[9]

Much of CSI's material is published in its bi-monthly Skeptical Inquirer magazine. SI frequently publishes on Intelligent Design and Creationism. Unfortunately like another skeptic magazine, the Skeptical Inquirer also experiments with the anti-woke grift ^[10].

The CSI is part of the Center for Inquiry and is closely associated with the Council for Secular Humanism.

Outstanding Skeptics of the Twentieth Century[edit]

The Outstanding Skeptics of the Twentieth Century is a list drawn up by CSICOP Fellows and Scientific Consultants of people who had made major contributions to skepticism in the twentieth century.^[11]

Pantheon of Skeptics[edit]

The Pantheon of Skeptics is a CSI initiative aimed to preserve the legacy of distinguished late fellows and highlight the history of the modern skeptical movement.^[12] The executive council finalized the selection of the intitial 27 in April 2011, and the list has since been intermittently updated. The honorees are permanently recognized at CSI’s headquarters and on its website.
