Double-Blind Peer Review

AUTHOR RESOURCE

Double-Blind Peer Review

The source author guide describes initial editorial screening followed, when appropriate, by anonymous peer review.

Practical checklist

1. Remove identifying details from anonymized review files.
2. Provide clear responses to reviewer comments.
3. Distinguish editorial feedback from a final publication decision.

Additional considerations

Make sure that statements are supported by appropriate references and that your writing clearly distinguishes reported evidence, interpretation and recommendations. Review the original journal instructions for detailed format rules and current requirements.
