This requires that authors, editors, and evaluators (who are able to send documents to the system as part of the evaluation process) take some care with the text and properties of the document:

The author(s) of the document delete his/her name(s) from the paper, replacing with “Author” only, and the year in references and footnotes, instead of names of authors, title of article, etc.
In Microsoft Office documents, an author ID must be removed from the document properties (in the menu File> Properties), starting with File, in the main menu, clicking on the following sequence: File> Save as ...> Tools (or Options on Mac)> Security Options ...> Remove personal information from the file when saving> OK> Save.

All evaluation of papers submitted in the RPD is done by two reviewers and, if one reviewers gives a positive evaluation and another gives a negative one, a third reviewer will be called. The results will be: Accepted, Accepted with corrections or Rejected. The final opinion sent to the author is the responsibility of the section editor.
