Manuscript Versions
To ensure a double-blind review process, authors must submit two separate files upon initial submission. The first is a complete manuscript (preferably using the Official Template). The second is an anonymized version with all author names, acknowledgments, and self-identifying references removed from the main text.
Authors are responsible for removing all personal data and document properties before uploading their files to the official website. In Microsoft Word documents, author information must be removed under File Properties; for PDF attachments, metadata must be cleared via Adobe Acrobat Document Properties. For further guidance, see Manuscript Preparation Guidelines.
