We are currently using OCS 2.3.6.0. We usually do a double blind review for our conference papers I have looked on the system and could not find this option. I have also looked through OCS in an hour as well as on the forums page but could not find anything.
I will greatly appreciate any assistance on how to setup this option in OCS.
Hi @nazli,
It’s been a while since I looked at OCS, but as I remember, reviews are all double blind, in that the reviewer can’t see the author’s identify or vice versa. The director mediates communication between them to preserve privacy. Are you seeing something different?

Hi @asmecher
thank you for your response, i have registered myself as a test reviewer and i could see the names of the authors on the paper. i am not sure where it is that you set this.
Hi @nazli,
Can you describe where the reviewer sees the author names?
If your test reviewer account also has a director role, then they will be able to see author names. Reviews should not be given director or track director roles if you need to preserve anonymity of authors.
