Tutorial for Removing Author Identification from Word Files

Before starting the submission process, authors must remove all identifying information from their manuscript file. This includes references to previous works by the author(s), mentions of affiliated institutions, methodological details that could allow identification/location of the origin, as well as information stored in the document’s properties fields (click here to access a tutorial on how to remove author identification from Word files). Authors whose submissions are accepted for publication will have the opportunity to add the necessary identifying information during the final revision stage.
