- Figures should not contain any affiliation or name of author
- Papers published by the author in the text should be cited: ‘[Anonymous, 2014]’.
- In the reference list omit all publications by the authors substituting the reference with: ‘[Anonymous 2014] Details omitted for double-blind reviewing.’
- References to funding sources should be omitted
