The Journal of Controversial Ideas which will be an academic journal that publishes anonymous articles on challenging topics; conceived of by prominent moral philosophers Peter Singer, Jeff Macmahan, and Francesca Minerva. Planning to launch in 2019, stated that they will publish one edition per year. The central claim is that this journal will allow academics and others, particularly those in early stages of their careers, to publish controversial ideas pseudonymously and therefore avoid the potentially threatening consequences to their person and career due to these publications.
