Anonymity is hard in practice when so much of science consist of small niche fields where it can be pretty obvious who the author of a paper is by just reading the content.

A better solution might be to enforce non-anonymous peer-reviews that can be read by the public after the paper has been published.

Some venues are doing this, e.g. f1000. Here's a paper that I reviewed: http://f1000research.com/articles/3-38/v2
