Journal of Near-Death Studies

The Journal of Near-Death Studies (JNDS) is the only peer-reviewed scholarly journal (ISSN 0891-4494) dedicated exclusively to the field of near-death studies. It is cross-disciplinary.

• From its inception in 1981 through 2018, JNDS was published quarterly, with each volume containing a Fall and Winter issue in one calendar year and a Spring and Summer issue in the following calendar year.

• Beginning in 2019, JNDS has been published three times per year: Each volume number corresponds to a calendar year and contains a Spring, Summer, and Fall issue.
