Original sentence: In 1977 the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease devoted most of one issue to Stevenson's research on reincarnation.In an editorial for that issue, psychiatrist Eugene Brody explained the decision to publish on a topic that might normally be regarded as unscientific due to the "scientific and personal credibility of the authors, the legitimacy of their research methods, and the conformity of their reasoning to the usual canons of rational thought".In commentary for the same issue psychiatrist Harold Lief wrote: "Either [Stevenson] is making a colossal mistake, or he will be known ... as 'the Galileo of the 20th century'.Stevenson’s conclusions gained little support from other scientists, many of whom, Eugene Brody suggests, reject ideas like reincarnation out of hand.While Stevenson regularly published his research in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and several commentators have stated that he rigorously followed the scientific method in conducting his research, for the most part the scientific community ignored his work
