• Upload an anonymised manuscript file for peer review. The file must not include authors’ names, institutional affiliations, contact details, or any acknowledgements or other statements that could reveal their identities. Remove author information from the Word document properties as well. Add author details to the manuscript file during production, after the manuscript has been accepted.
