“The blind refereeing process requires that the editor send the referees an anonymous manuscript. We use PDF (Portable Document Format) files in the refereeing process. To submit an article for publication to the journal, therefore, we must receive an electronic copy of your manuscript.
“Please ensure that your document is thoroughly anonymous, so that the refereeing process can be truly blind. (In particular, check the ‘Document Properties’ of any PDF file you produce. These may reveal the name of the author.)
“The author who submits the paper to the journal will be treated as the corresponding author of the manuscript, and, in the case of a multiply authored article, this author will be responsible for communicating with the other authors.”

“Ensuring a Blind Peer Review
“To ensure the integrity of the blind peer-review for submission to this journal, every effort should be made to prevent the identities of the authors and reviewers from being known to each other. This involves the authors, editors, and reviewers (who upload documents as part of their review) checking to see if the following steps have been taken with regard to the text and the file properties:
“The authors of the document have deleted their names from the text, with "Author" and year used in the references and footnotes, instead of the authors' name, article title, etc.
“With Microsoft Office documents, author identification should also be removed from the properties for the file (see under File in Word), by clicking on the following, beginning with File on the main menu of the Microsoft application: File > Save As > Tools (or Options with a Mac) > Security > Remove personal information from file properties on save > Save.
“With PDFs, the authors' names should also be removed from Document Properties found under File on Adobe Acrobat's main menu.”

“Submitted articles must be suitable for blind review and should be submitted to the Senior or Coordinating Editor.”

“An open-access, peer-reviewed journal that innovates in adhering strictly to simultaneous policies of blind submission, double-blind review, and anti-plagiarism.”

“COVER LETTER
“The cover email letter should include:
Author(s) names and institutional affiliations
Contact information for one author, including at least email address and telephone number.
“Since a blind review process is used, no authors’ name should appear anywhere on the manuscript. In addition, because we share files electronically, it is the authors’ responsibility to strip the file of any other identifying notations, including references in the document’s properties, title, or first-person language in text of references.”

“If necessary to preserve anonymity in the review process, authors' names may be replaced with placeholders (e.g., replace "Smith, 2003" with "Author, 2003") and removed from the list of references.  However, the author should, in such cases, provide the editor with an additional document listing these anonymized sources.
“In order to avoid compromising the anonymous review process, it is advisable for authors to refrain from presenting their work at conferences while it is under review at BEQ, and to remove any online postings of the manuscript.”

The author’s identity should not otherwise be revealed in the manuscript.”

“Reviewing Procedure

“Double-blind review procedure
“The journal follows a double-blind reviewing procedure. Authors are therefore requested to place their name and affiliation on a separate page. Self-identifying citations and references in the article text should either be avoided or left blank when manuscripts are first submitted. Authors are responsible for reinserting self-identifying citations and references when manuscripts are prepared for final submission.”

“Ideally, manuscripts must be prepared for blind review. The author’s name should appear only on a separate cover letter or e-mail, and any references to the author’s work must be made in the third person. (Please also be aware that identifying information can lurk in the Properties of a Microsoft Word file, or in other metadata.)”

“Since each issue is devoted to one topic, we do not accept spontaneously submitted papers.”

“Peer Review Policy:
“All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous double blind peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two referees.
“Preparing papers for blind review
“Please make sure that your submission is carefully prepared for blind review, i.e. that there are no references to yourself or to your work in your paper. This includes removing references to earlier work (these can be added later). In case of a revision or resubmission: make sure your response to the referees is also blinded.”

“Authors should prepare and upload two versions of their manuscript. One should be a complete text, while in the second all document information identifying the author should be removed from files to allow them to be sent anonymously to referees. When uploading files authors will then be able to define the non-anonymous version as ‘File not for review’.”

“4. Articles must be submitted in a form suitable for blind refereeing; personal acknowledgements should be removed. PDF submissions should include the author's details in a separate document.
“5. When submitting papers, authors should specify whether they are male or female or else explicitly state that they prefer not to supply this information. Information on gender is collected for statistical purposes only and the editors will not be made aware of an author's gender until a final decision about publication has been made. Referees are not provided with any information about authors at any stage.”

“Send articles by e-mail to phil-review@cornell.edu. In the e-mail, include the title of the article, the author's name and postal address, and the author's institutional affiliation.
“Neither the author's name nor the author's affiliation should be included in the manuscript, and any acknowledgments should be removed. References to the author's own work should not reveal the author's identity. Any prefatory or explanatory remarks intended for the editors or readers must be given anonymously, not in the cover letter.
“The Philosophical Review practices a system of triple-blind review (with some qualifications; see below). Manuscript readers are not aware of the identity of a manuscript’s author, and the editors are not informed of the author’s identity until they have reached a decision on the manuscript.
“When it comes to resubmissions, the following should be noted. Since an author’s identity is revealed to the editors after a verdict has been reached, the editors will know the identity of the author in the case of a resubmission. Moreover, while the editors will typically aim to send the resubmitted manuscript to the same referee(s) who originally read the paper, there are exceptions to this general rule.”

“Manuscripts must be prepared for blind review. Please see the section 'Blinding Your Paper' on this page.
“Blinding Your Paper
“Papers submitted to Philosophy of Science must be blinded prior to review. Papers cannot be reviewed unless they are properly blinded. To blind your paper, follow these guidelines:
    There is no need for a title page. The first page of the paper should contain the title, immediately followed by the abstract, immediately followed by text of the paper. Your name should not appear on this page as the author.
    Generic references to 'I' or 'me' (or other first-person pronouns) are permitted, unless they appear in conjunction with evidence that would lead the reader to infer to whom the pronoun refers.
Check that the paper has no running headers or footers with your name.”

“All submissions are refereed (anonymously) by expert readers, including a native or fluent speaker of the language of the article.”

No mention of blind review.

“In order that manuscripts may be blind-reviewed (i.e. read in ignorance of authorship), we request that names of authors and their institutional affiliations not appear on manuscripts or the electronic copy. However, a covering letter should include the title of the paper and all useful contact information — address, fax and phone numbers, email address, etc. In certain cases, the Editor-in-Chief may require that this be done before the paper is further considered.”

“All identifying information should be removed from the manuscript. Manuscripts that do not meet the submission standards will not be considered.
“How to Submit
“Authors must prepare and submit two separate files to Political Theory via our website (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pt):
(1) One 'Main Document' which contains only your manuscript;
(2) One 'Supplementary File' that includes a title page with full contact information; a brief biographical paragraph noting current affiliation, research interests, and recent publications; an abstract of no more than 150 words; and five keywords to facilitate electronic access. A cover letter is not required.”

“Essays in an acceptable format will be refereed blind by a member of the editorial advisory board.”

[From website:] “No direct or indirect references to the author should be included in the manuscript (unless it is a book review), making it suitable for blind review.

“Peer Review Policy
“All research articles undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review including initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing. If these articles are accepted, they are marked as ‘peer reviewed’.
“Referees are asked to assess the quality of submitted papers and to point out mistakes, errors, omissions, unclear passages, and digressions. They may also offer substantive criticism. If, however, a high-quality paper encounters substantive criticism by a referee, the editors may still accept the paper without revisions concerning the substantial points of disagreement, and invite the referee to publish a comment, to which the author may respond.
“To encourage discussions of current topics, contributions to the discussion section have to pass only a lighter and faster review process by the editors. The same applies to book reviews and to some invited contributions to special topics marked as ‘article’ (see Concept and Structure).”

“All Articles should be submitted in a format appropriate to blind review. Articles undergo review on a double-blind peer review basis, and may be sent on that basis to multiple reviewers. All manuscripts also undergo extensive review by the Editors after passing peer review; authors should therefore be prepared to respond to both substantive and editorial comments on their manuscript after acceptance.”

“All references to the author (direct and indirect) must be removed in order to ensure blind review. Please check the body of the text, abstract, notes, and document meta-data to confirm the absence of any self-identifying references.”

“If submitting a paper for peer review, the paper is anonymized. See instructions for ensuring a blind review.
“Ensuring a Blind Peer Review
“To ensure the integrity of the blind peer-review for submission to this journal, every effort should be made to prevent the identities of the authors and reviewers from being known to each other. This involves the authors, editors, and reviewers (who upload documents as part of their review) checking to see if the following steps have been taken with regard to the text and the file properties:
“The authors of the document have deleted their names from the text, with "Author" and year used in the references and footnotes, instead of the authors' name, article title, etc.
“With Microsoft Office documents, author identification should also be removed from the properties for the file (see under File in Word), by clicking on the following, beginning with File on the main menu of the Microsoft application: File > Save As > Tools (or Options with a Mac) > Security > Remove personal information from file properties on save > Save.
“With PDFs, the authors' names should also be removed from Document Properties found under File on Adobe Acrobat's main menu.”

No mention of blind review.

“Reviewing Procedure
Studia Philosophica Estonica follows a double−blind reviewing procedure. Authors are therefore requested to omit their name and affiliation from the manuscript. Self−identifying citations and references in the article text should also be avoided or left blank when manuscripts are first submitted.”

“Do not identify author names in the actual text of your manuscript; all such information is discarded when we receive your submission. To add or edit co-authors, you must use the “revise submission” form.
Make sure all author and co-author information is complete. Click on “Preview submission” to make sure that all your co-authors' names and affiliations appear correctly.
Do not include acknowledgments in your manuscript. Instead, enter acknowledgments in the cover page footnote section on the “revise submission” form, so that they may be incorporated into the title page produced for publication.”

“Double-blind peer review
“This journal follows a double-blind reviewing procedure. Authors are therefore requested to submit:
    A blinded manuscript without any author names and affiliations in the text or on the title page. Self-identifying citations and references in the article text should be avoided.
    A separate title page, containing title, all author names, affiliations, and the contact information of the corresponding author. Any acknowledgements, disclosures, or funding information should also be included on this page.”

No mention of blind review.

“Papers should be suitable for blind review.”

“The first page of the manuscript should contain the title of the paper, an abstract of 50-100 words, and 2-5 comprehensive keywords. Each page of the manuscript should be consecutively numbered, including pages of notes, references, and captions. The paper should be prepared for blind review with no endnotes or document properties identifying the author or the author's institution. Please be careful to check the properties of your file to ensure anonymity.
“The title of the paper, the author's name and full affiliation address (including email) must be supplied in a separate file (MSWord, Rich Text or Open Office Format) attached to the same email as your manuscript submission.”

No mention of blind review.

“The text must be suitable for blind review.”

“Do not type your name, academic affiliation, or any other self-identifying information in your paper. Put that information on your cover letter. Papers are reviewed "blind," so that referees do not know whose paper they are reading.”
