In this month’s editorial, Nature Genetics announces a new option available to authors at all monthly Nature Research Journals. Authors will now be able to opt in to double-blind peer review, so that anonymous reviewers will not have access to the authors’ identities. It will be the authors’ responsibility to make sure that their identities are removed from the manuscript. The decision to implement this option was made based on surveys of the scientific community and researcher feedback. What do you think of double-blind peer review? Will you choose this option for your own manuscripts? Why or why not? Let us know in the comments section below.
