Review Process

Anonymity and Blind Review Process

To ensure a double-blind peer review:

• The title page should include only the full title of the manuscript and author information.
  
  
• All other parts of the manuscript must omit any author identifiers.
  
  
• Avoid including names, institutions, or any other identifying details in the body of the text, footnotes, references, or acknowledgments. These can be reinserted in the final version after acceptance.
  
  
• Ensure that author names are removed from the file metadata (e.g., in Microsoft Word, go to File > Info > Check for Issues > Inspect Document).
  
  
• When submitting a revised manuscript, also submit a blinded response letter summarizing the changes made, suitable for review by anonymous peer reviewers.
