<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nicholas Molinari, post: 25306517, member: 78411&quot;]I come across such &quot;hearsay&quot; all the time in professional academic publications (<i>e.g</i>., an object is &quot;said to be from,&quot; was &quot;allegedly found in&quot;, etc.), and scholars make great use of it. Often times it serves as a space-filler from which one can extrapolate and then find other, more &quot;rigorously determined&quot; information which falls into place, but wouldn&#039;t have without the initial space-filler. It is indeed rare to see anyonymous publications in a professional journal but they also exist. The most recent example that comes to mind in a somewhat related field was the initial publication of the Derveni Papyrus.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t be suprised if the practice of publishing anonymously becomes more commonplace with the new political environment.&nbsp; I know for certain there is a lot of important, reliable knowledge and information coming from outside &quot;controlled surveys or excavations guaranteed by identifiable researchers.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, as the General Editor, if I deem a scholar trustworthy and they have legitimate reasons for remaining anonymous, I will move forward with publication.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
