James G. Matlock introduced a new editorial team for the Psi Encyclopedia in an announcement published on 4 May. He had succeeded Robert McLuhan as general editor in April.
The team includes associate editors Nemo Mörck, K. M. Wehrstein, Melvyn Willin and Nancy Zingrone, with Courtney Block and Roberto R. Narváez as staff writers. Matlock described continuity with the reference work’s existing aim: an accessible introduction to academic parapsychology across laboratory research and field cases.
The announcement also set out plans for a regular editors’ blog, wider social-media communication and fundraising to sustain the project as its original bequest is drawn down.
For readers tracing the background of a haunting, medium or experiment, the news concerns the future of a useful reference collection. Its individual articles remain the place to follow a topic’s cited literature; the editorial announcement explains who is developing that resource and how they intend it to grow.
