blind submissions

Blind submissions refer to the process of submitting work—such as academic papers or articles—without revealing the author's identity to the reviewers. This approach helps ensure that the evaluation is fair and unbiased, focusing solely on the content's quality rather than the author's reputation or affiliations. Typically, both the authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other. Blind submissions promote impartial assessment and increase fairness in the review process, encouraging diverse and honest feedback based on merit rather than personal recognition.
