Expansion: In the process of blind evaluation, the reviewer does not know the identity and background information of the author, but only pays attention to the research content, methods and conclusions, and makes an objective and fair evaluation according to scientific standards. This can avoid the influence of the author's identity or reputation on the fair comment of the article. At the same time, it can improve the quality and credibility of academic research.
Blind evaluation is usually divided into single blind evaluation and double blind evaluation. In single blind evaluation, only the reviewer does not know the identity information of the author; In the double-blind review, neither the author nor the judges know each other's identity information. Although blind evaluation can effectively reduce the influence of subjective factors on papers or manuscripts, it cannot completely avoid all problems.
