of the submission process. Authors tended to guess correctly the identity of reviewers from the same region of the world as themselves. Therefore, to improve anonymity, editors should continue to solicit reviewers from around the world. As previously reported (4), this study suggests that for a specialty journal, authors’ efforts to identify reviewers are largely unrewarding and that most reviewers remain anonymous to authors. However, if authors had recognized their reviewers, then the case could be made for changing to a more open peer review process in which the reviewer identity is revealed. The results suggest that author-blinded peer review remains anonymous and that moving to open peer review is unnecessary. n
