Remove all author identification. Author name and affiliation fields should be left blank or marked as (omitted for review);

Remove self-citations throughout the text. If necessary, refer to them as (omitted for review);

Avoid excessive citations of your own work. Only cite what is strictly necessary to contextualize the contribution, as if it were written by someone else;

Avoid expressions like “In our previous work […]” followed by a citation of your own paper or group’s work;

Omit the Acknowledgments section, if any. It can be added to the final version if the submission is accepted;
