IANDS supports and encourages research in the field of Near-Death studies by:

• publishing the only scholarly journal in the field: the Journal of Near-Death Studies
• producing a comprehensive bibliography of near-death related articles in print
• maintaining an archive of near-death experiences for research and study
• providing a channel for researchers to publish research requests

Since Raymond Moody published Life after Life in 1975, there have been a number of landmark studies, including the one recently in Lancet.

If you are writing a paper on the Near-Death experience, we have resources here.
