That&#x27;s the point. If you publish anonymously then you can publish methodologies and analysis that is up to &quot;gold standard&quot; while completely falsifying&#x2F;manipulating data.<p>The current system mostly relies on reputation and professional ethics&#x2F;pride to filter out that kind of behavior even before the publication stage. The cost to replicate experiments is typically high - even in our current system we cannot replicate to the degree that we want. One presumes that in an anonymous system, the problem would get even worse.
