Single-Blind Review
Updated 2026-08-10
INTRODUCTION
English translation pending.
CORE DEFINITION
A review arrangement in which reviewers know the authors' identities while authors do not know the reviewers'. In double-blind review, neither side knows the other. Reviewer anonymity lets referees criticize candidly without fear of reprisal, yet the visible author identity can still influence judgment, so the isolation of identity bias is only partial.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Anonymity split: hide one side of the identity while leaving the other visible. - Candid critique: rely on reviewer anonymity to invite honest, unguarded feedback. - Bias audit: check whether author fame or institution still sways the evaluation.
Anchor fast decisions
Author anonymity lets reviewers criticize candidly without fear of reprisal, which partially isolates identity bias. But because the author is still visible, halo or hostility effects tied to name and institution can still shape the judgment, so the isolation is only half complete.
