Create some kind of publication that accepts only anonymous papers with an encrypted name. When the paper is published the author can reveal the key to decrypt the name.
Thus when the publication publishes a paper, the judgment, however biased, is based on the paper alone, and not the author.
- chrisseaton 9y agoUsually it's very easy to guess the author of a paper in your field.
- mayank 9y agoThis is called double-blind peer review. Unfortunately, it is often against the interests of the most "eminent" players in a field, who benefit from their eminence leading to gentler peer reviews.
- pfortuny 9y agoThat is theoretically possible but a simple lexical analysis would give you very strong hints about the author(s). Not to mention the references, etc.
- UncleMeat 9y agoIn many fields it is trivial to tell who wrote a paper if you are at all familiar with the most current work.
