blind review

Identity-hidden assessment process

Blind review is evaluation of work—typically academic papers, grant proposals, or job applications—with identifying information removed to prevent bias.

In single-blind review, authors don't know who reviews them; in double-blind, reviewers also don't know the authors' identities.

The journal uses blind review to ensure fair assessment.
