Prepare for Double-Blind Review
All reviewing will be double blind, so the paper must not include any information, which allows the authors to be identified. Please consider in particular the following points to ensure a double blind reviewing process:
- Author name(s) should not appear in the paper (including the abstract):
- Eliminate references to your institutions, your sponsors, and your unpublished work
- If you build on your own published work you should give the complete reference (including your name) but talk about this work as if it were somebody else’s
- Always make clear what the contributions/differences are with respect to (your own and others’) prior work
- All author names must be inserted into the online submission form
- Delete author and institution information from document properties
