Creating an additional "user"
That may seem a pointless question, but life has taught me to be careful and to ask before any "somewhat unusual" steps. Also, despite it could be a Codidact question, I think it is also dependent on the particular EE community feelings.
I am currently using this site under the pseudonym "Coquelicot". Indeed, I prefer anonymity for posting questions and answers, where it is relatively current to be involved in disputes.
On the other hand, regarding the "papers" category, I would like to post under my real name.
Is there a problem with creating another user for that (that is, I will be the owner of two users)?

Personally I'd rather have everyone use their real name and affiliation. That basically puts their reputation out there on anything they say. If you really believe in something, have the guts to say so. If you don't, then I don't want to hear it.
However, that's not the policy of the site. I wouldn't have a problem with someone having multiple accounts as long as they are never used to vote on each other's posts. This would have to be enforced by the software, so the multiple accounts need to be known deep down in some database along with other private personal information.
I don't know whether Codidact has such a feature. If it does, then go ahead and create a second account. If not, then this would be a good discussion for Codidact meta.
