Obviously, it certainly wouldn't hurt. It would prevent
misunderstandings by novice or even experienced potential readers.  I
don't think it would improve discoverability within indexes or
catalogs but it might on the open web.  It might also make potential
contributors more willing to submit to a new journal if it was clear
on their CV that it was a somewhat scholarly publication at first
glance.
