- Yes, it is common practice among responsible journal editors to send out
- manuscripts with no author identification on them. I review for a journal
- in which this is done. The value should not be overestimated though,
- because the editor still sees the information and that information may
- affect who he or she sends the manuscript out to for review. Still better
- than full identification all the way, but not ideal.
