Re: From a distinguished journal. Triple blind reviews seem effective

Triple blind should disable the built in bias of all parties, from what I
understand.  Here's a summary from Wiley
<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wiley.com%2Fnetwork%2Fresearchers%2Fbeing-a-peer-reviewer%2Fexploring-the-peer-review-process&amp;data=02%7C01%7CCLASSICS-L%40lsv.uky.edu%7Cc6ab3bed86e5435075c508d6d8643d8c%7C2b30530b69b64457b818481cb53d42ae%7C0%7C0%7C636934322376144490&amp;sdata=EsuPBS6HQ2uB1HWZP3jgzLIaLRZ%2FfK3Tsq9XNWtVHsk%3D&amp;reserved=0>

Another variation on the theme of closed review is triple blind review
whereby, not only are authors and reviewers blind to each other’s
identities but where editors are also blind to the identity of both. This
is aimed at minimizing bias among editors but does not eliminate the
possibility of identifying authors by their work or of bias against
competing work. Again, there is little evidence that it is used commonly
and it requires journals which can afford the administrative staff and
processes.

I first learned of it from Daniel Nexon while he edited ISQ and he wrote a
longer summary of what triple-blind entails.  In our small field, it's a
way to avoid the trap of an entirely decent editor giving material to
entirely decent people he or she knows to review: intentional bias need not
be present to perpetuate bias, if all the ducks are lined up in this way.

Best,

Dan
