  • Does the manuscript contain any information that might help the reviewer identify you? This could compromise the anonymous peer review process. A few tips:
    - If you need to refer to your own work, use wording such as ‘previous research has demonstrated’ not ‘our previous research has demonstrated’.
    - If you need to refer to your own, currently unpublished work, don’t include this work in the reference list.
    - Any acknowledgments or author biographies should be uploaded as separate files.
    - Carry out a final check to ensure that no author names appear anywhere in the manuscript. This includes in figures or captions.
