ANONYMITY REQUIREMENTS FOR DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEWING
All full papers submitted to SBGames 2007 - Computing Track will undergo a double-blind reviewing process: the program committee members and referees who review the paper will not know the identity of the authors. To ensure anonymity of authorship, authors must prepare their manuscript as follows:
- Authors' names and affiliations must not appear on the title page or elsewhere in the paper. Instead, please include under the title the number assigned to your paper by the on-line paper registration system (JEMS).
- Funding sources must not be acknowledged anywhere in the paper.
- Research group members or other colleagues or collaborators must not be acknowledged anywhere in the paper.
- It is strongly suggested that the submitted file is named with the assigned submission number. For example, if your assigned paper number is 39352, then name your submitted file 39352.pdf.
- Source file naming must also be done with care. For example, if your name is Jane Smith and you submit a PDF file generated from a .dvi file called Jane-Smith.dvi, one can infer your authorship by looking into the PDF file.
- The same rules apply to supplementary material.
You must also use care in referring to related past work, particularly your own, in the paper. For example, if you are Jane Smith, the following text gives away the authorship of the submitted paper: In our previous work [1,2], we presented two algorithms for .... In this paper, we build on that work by ...
Bibliography
[1] Jane Smith, "A Simple Algorithm for ...," Proc. of SIBGRAPI 1997, pp. 1 - 8.
[2] Jane Smith, "A Complicated Algorithm for ...," Proc. SIBGRAPI
1998, pp. 1 - 8.
The solution is to reference your past work in the third person (just
as you would any other piece of work that is related to the submitted
paper). This allows you to set the context for the submitted paper,
while at the same time preserving anonymity:
In previous work [1,2], algorithms were presented for ... In this
paper, we build on that work by ...
Despite the anonymity requirements, you should still include all relevant work of your own in the references, using the above style -- omitting them could potentially reveal your identity by negation. However, self-references should be limited to the essential ones, and extended versions of the submitted paper (e.g., technical reports or URLs for downloadable versions) must not be referenced. Common sense and careful writing can go a long way toward preserving anonymity without diminishing the quality or impact of a paper. The goal is to preserve anonymity while still allowing the reader to fully grasp the context (related past work, including your own) of the submitted paper.
It is the responsibility of authors to do their very best to preserve anonymity. Papers that do not follow the guidelines here, or otherwise potentially reveal the identity of the authors, are subject to immediate rejection.
