• Avoid using phrases such as “our previous work” when referring to earlier publications by the authors.
• Remove information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgments (e.g., co-workers and grant IDs).
• Check supplemental material (e.g., titles in the video clips, or supplementary documents) for information that may identify the authors’ identities.
• Avoid providing links to websites that identify the authors.
• Papers without appropriate blinding will be rejected without review.
