“…There is no definitive count of cases available in books as well as journals, but they likely total between 400 and 500, 225 in Stevenson's (1997) massive two-volume Reincarnation and Biology alone. Moraes et al (2022) found an upward trend in the number of research publications, with a peak around the year 2000 and a decline in the present century. This makes sense, inasmuch as Stevenson was responsible for the great majority of journal papers and his output declined after 2000; he died in 2007.…”

Part 1 of this paper presented a secure timeline for the James Leininger reincarnation case, showing Michael Sudduth’s criticisms of it to be unfounded. Part 2 begins with an analysis of the exchange in this journal between Sudduth and Jim Tucker over Tucker’s investigation, then recommends improvements that might be made in the investigation and reporting of reincarnation cases to address criticisms, overcome a will to disbelieve in the evidence, and reach scientists and scholars open to following the research findings where they lead. Proposals are grouped under three headings: Case Study Methodology, Reporting Standards, and Statistical Analysis.

“…Apart from NDEs, are there other evidence of supernatural phenomena and causes? One type is due to the research in reincarnation (Weird World, 2020; de Moraes and Moreira-Almeida, 2020;Moraes et al, 2022). An authority on reincarnation research is Ian Stevenson, a psychiatrist from the University of Virginia.…”
