Journal of Controversial Ideas
JCI was born because its founders wanted people to bring their nontraditional opinions & research to the light unanimously.
Often ideas are branded controversial when they defy traditional wisdom.
A couple of them even can change the world by changing the human perspective.
How to publish them? Simple, submit to the Journal of Controversial Ideas.
The concept of this journal is quite innovative.
Many ideas keep popping in fertile minds. Some are potent controversial.
So, they remain unborn & aborted fearing potential consequences.
That’s where this journal comes in.
Any researcher from any discipline can submit their manuscript that may inflame.
Even authors can remain anonymous or pick pseudonyms to hide their identity if they wish to.
JCI is a peer-reviewed annual publication.
Co-founded by Princeton University professor Peter Singer, Ghent University Postdoc Francesca Minerva, & University of Oxford professor Jeff McMahan.
Established in 2018, it has started accepting submissions from April 2020.
Both Singer & Minerva got into controversies because of their conflicting publications.
Consequently, they came up with the idea of this journal to embrace unpopular thoughts in this age of social media & protect authors from being mobbed virtually.
