This seems easier to implement than (the good version of) my idea.
I wouldn’t want to require PhDs. I think most of the best contributors to LW don’t have PhDs—I can think of at least one who doesn’t even have a high school diploma, although he doesn’t post too often these days. Although having a “LW journal” with a PhD requirement seems better than not having one at all.

The PhDs are the reviewers, not the authors.
