IJQCI utilizes a Double-Blind Peer Review process. To facilitate this, authors must ensure that their main manuscript file does not contain any identifying information.
Important: Anonymization Rules
- Remove author names and affiliations from the manuscript text and metadata.
- When citing your own previous work, use the third person (e.g., "As Smith et al. demonstrated..." rather than "As we demonstrated...").
- Omit funding information and acknowledgments from the initial submission file (provide these in the designated form fields instead).
