Journal of Controversial Ideas
The Journal of Controversial Ideas is a cross-disciplinary, peer-reviewed academic journal that aims to allow academics to publish using pseudonyms if they request it.[1][2] Established in 2018 by philosophers Francesca Minerva,[3] Jeff McMahan, and Peter Singer, the journal began accepting submissions on 20 April 2020.[4] According to McMahan, the journal is needed because of the fear among academics about publishing articles that support certain contentious positions.[5] Minerva came up with the idea after experiencing death threats and difficulty finding employment because of an article she wrote on the ethics of newborn infanticide.[2]
The first issue of the journal was published on April 23, 2021.[6]
