Referee Anonymity and Submitting Reports as PDF Documents

 

If you want your report to be anonymous, then you need to make sure that your PDF document information does not contain identifying information.  To check, open your PDF document in Adobe Acrobat.  Choose >File; then >Document Properties. You should see information that indicates the "Author" of the document.  If you wish to remain anonymous, delete your name and save the document.  Check document properties again to see that the saved document does not contain identifying information.
