Journal für kontroverse Ideen mit anonymen Autoren
„Academics who are
frightened to explore controversial topics, in case it provokes a backlash,
will soon have a safer route to publish such work. An international group of
university researchers is planning a new journal which will allow articles on
sensitive debates to be written under pseudonyms. They feel free intellectual
discussion on tough issues is being hampered by a culture of fear and
self-censorship. The Journal of Controversial Ideas will be launched early next
year. …
Jeff McMahan, professor of moral philosophy atUniversity of Oxford,… stressed that the new cross-disciplinary
publication will be fully peer-reviewed in line with normal academic standards.
… "I think all of us will be very happy if, and when, the need for such a
journal disappears, and the sooner the better. "But right now in current
conditions something like this is needed."
