Double Blind Review process

Manuscripts submitted to JAMRIS are reviewed under a double-blind peer review process. This means that reviewers do not know the identity of the authors, and authors do not know the identity of the reviewers. For general submission requirements, please see the Submissions page.

To ensure a proper anonymous review, authors must prepare the review version of the manuscript so that it does not reveal their identity.

Please follow these rules when preparing an anonymized manuscript:

• do not include author names, affiliations, email addresses, or acknowledgements in the anonymized version
• remove any information from the manuscript that could directly identify the authors or their institutions
• provide all author details only in the full source file and in the metadata entered in the submission system
• avoid references in the text that clearly reveal authorship, such as “in our previous work” or similar wording
• when citing your own published work, use standard third-person references in the same way as for any other cited source
• check the file properties and metadata before submission and remove author-identifying information if necessary

If the manuscript is revised after peer review, any response to reviewers intended for blinded review should also be prepared in an anonymized form.
