Let’s say you are a publisher and you want to read your submissions anonymously, that is you want to read them “blind” and don’t wish to see the author’s name. Moksha can help you do that.
Important note: Moksha cannot control what is in the submitted manuscript. Therefore, make sure you ask your authors to strip out their names and emails (or any identifying information) from their manuscript before submitting. For best results, we recommend enabling Private Comments as well, to prevent identifying information from being revealed in comments. Additionally, you will want to make sure your filename settings (in the File Settings tab) does not include the author name or other identifying information.
Instructions
- Visit the configuration page for your submission type (Visit the submission type information page and click “Edit”; you must have permission to edit submission types to do this).
- Make sure you are on the “General” tab.
- Scroll down to “Privacy and Anonymity.”
- Set the option under “Anonymous submissions” to “Yes” then click “Save” at the bottom. (You may wish to also enable “Private Comments”.)
- Now when viewing the submissions list, submissions from this type will hide the author’s name. You will see the name “anonymous” instead.
- Additionally, the author’s name, email, and other identifying information will be hidden on the individual submission page.
- Only editors of that submission type will be able to view identifying information.
