Two problems: 1) what's the incentive to publish anonymously if it won't count for hiring, promotion, and tenure 2) high risk of doxxing, given small size of controversial fields, distinctive writing styles, citation patterns, etc. Otherwise, I totally support this.

It's hard to do science if you can't get a job doing science.

Does tenure now fail to provide adequate protection to allow tackling provocative topics? If it does not, is this journal a treatment for the symptom and not the root cause? Could it be more harmful by allowing the root cause to fester? Genuine questions

Tenure just means you (probably) don't lose your job. It doesn't protect against blowback in terms of colleagues, grants, conference talks, book publishing, recruiting students, harassment, etc etc etc.

Interesting. True that doxxing would be a risk. But on the other hand, even if the authors can be guessed, the formal anonymity can provide plausible deniability that would be useful where universities just want protection from public criticism for keeping that person.

What if the journal’s editor re-wrote every article their own style using semantically equivalent language?
