double-blind review

Double-blind review is a process used in academic publishing to ensure fairness and objectivity. In this system, both the authors of a work and the reviewers who evaluate it remain anonymous to each other. This means that the reviewers do not know who wrote the paper, and the authors do not know who is reviewing it. By removing biases related to identity, reputation, or affiliation, double-blind review aims to focus solely on the quality of the work itself, promoting a more impartial assessment of research and ideas.
