Inside Higher Ed reports that the American Economics Association is switching its journals’ editorial process from double blind to single blind peer review. They make several arguments for the change:
- In the age of search engines, reviewers can easily and accurately guess the identity of authors.
- Making both reviewers and authors anonymous imposes administrative burdens on editors.
- Knowing the author will allow reviewers to assess bias and potential conflicts of interest.
On the other side of the debate, a 2008 study found that when the journal Behavioral Ecology added double blind peer review, the number of female, first-authored papers increased.
When I first started reviewing double blind manuscripts, I would often look for clues to the author’s identity. It was partly from curiosity and partly so I could evaluate the submission in light of the scholar’s other work. More recently, when I review double blind articles, it’s not worth the effort to track down the author, so I make judgments based on the manuscript itself. I doubt that it has made any difference in my ultimate recommendations, but it does save time.

I am curious to find out what blog system you have been utilizing? I’m experiencing some small security issues with my latest blog and I would like to find something more safe. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you for the insights provided, excellent post.
That’s quite interesting, thanks a lot.
I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you design this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you? Plz reply as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like to find out where u got this from. thanks
Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. However think about if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this blog could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche. Great blog!
That’s simply fantastic, exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Thanks for the quality and informative post, excellent work.
Appreciating the hard work you put into your site and in depth information you offer. It’s good to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same outdated rehashed information. Wonderful read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.

Currently it sounds like Movable Type is the preferred blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
I would like to ask you if you’d be willing to elaborate the post at some point?
Outstanding website and I truly enjoyed your posts.
Thanks for the insights here.
Tons of useful posts and info on here. Thumbs up, thanks a lot.
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d really appreciate it.
Looking forward to reading more from you, outstanding writing.

Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thanks
Very impressive work, thank you.

Do you have a spam problem on this blog; I also am a blogger, and I was curious about your situation; many of us have created some nice practices and we are looking to trade techniques with others, why not shoot me an e-mail if interested.
Looking forward to your future updates. Will that be soon?
It’s always great to find a quality website like this one here. Excellent work.
Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any recommendations for newbie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
Appreciate your efforts to write down this awesome info. Thanks.
Great! I’m truly impressed and hope you will keep up the good work.
Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
Very good work, looking forward to reading more.
Outstanding work and I must admit I’m really impressed. Thanks for all your efforts.
