Anonymizing the article

In order to guarantee a correct blind peer-review, we recommend you:

  • to delete personal information when saving the file (in Word: Tools / Inspect document).

  • to avoid acknowledgements and references to laboratories or persons that could identify you. There will be time to add them after the peer-review.

  • to avoid linking your name to first-person indications (I, we, my article, our research…). There will be time to make these changes after the peer-review.

    • If possible, quote your work in the third person: I showed in a 2007 paper → Sumarlidi R. Isleifsson showed in a 2007 paper.

    • If you need to insert an explicit reference to other research you have conducted, replace your name (or the whole reference) with [author]: [author], Symbolisme en nieuwe mystiek in Nederland voor 1900 : een onderzoek naar de Nederlandse receptie van Maurice Maeterlinck, Genève, Droz, 1995 OR [author] 1995.
