Sci Phi Journal is a quarterly online[1] magazine (formerly monthly,[2] with a print option) devoted to publishing science fiction stories and essays "at the intersection between speculative philosophy", anthropology and other humanities, with a particular focus on "fictional non-fiction".[3] The first issue was published in October 2014.[4] Jason Rennie founded and helmed the publication with Ben Zwycky until mid-2017. The quarterly was then briefly managed by Ray Blank, and has been edited by Adam Gerencser and Mariano Martin Rodriguez since January 2019,[5] the pair having relaunched the magazine as a "European project".[6]

In November 2014, a short story by Lou Antonelli featured in the magazine's second issue was nominated for the 2015 Hugo Award for Best Short Story.[7] In 2016, the journal was a finalist for the Hugo Award,[8] and nominated for the Locus Award.[9] At the 2022 EuroCon held in Luxembourg, Sci Phi Journal won the European SF Award for Best Magazine.[10] Cover art and non-fiction essays featured in the magazine were also finalists for the 2022 Utopia Awards.[11]
