SCR is probably the largest site covering scientific approaches to consciousness. Reviews published since 2002 are archived. Below I paste a paragraph about SCR written by Bernard Baars:
“Science & Consciousness Review is a community-building effort. Many scientific communities study how the human brain makes possible perception, memory, and even attention. But for historical reasons, we have no scientific community for exploring consciousness — including our own experiences of the world, of each other and of ourselves. It is probably the most important neglected topic in science. Students and scientists all over the world are vitally interested. Hardly a week goes by without another major article in headline journals like Science and Nature. The flow of evidence has increased enormously. But so far we have few institutional resources for teaching, learning, and sharing this information. In the last decade we have seen new, high quality journals, professional societies, and regular meetings. They are vitally important. But many people feel that we need an international forum to build a sense of shared community. SCR is an effort in that direction.”
