Papers and Notes are subjected to a blind review process: the submitted copy should have all authors’ names and affiliations removed, and should avoid any obvious identifying features. While authors should leave citations to their own relevant work unanonymized, they should reference it in a way that doesn’t readily identify them as the authors. For example use “Prior work by [ref]” instead of “In our prior work.” Those papers which do not comply wit the blind review process will not be reviewed.
