1...unless the reviewers also anonymize themselves via proxies and whatnot.– JeffECommented May 8, 2012 at 13:44

1@JeffE I agree with you, the reviewers can protect their anonymity themselves, I'm not sure though how many could technically do it :) (I know several researchers who would have no idea of how to set up a proxy!).– user102Commented May 8, 2012 at 15:04

1For 300 lines, you could just include the code on one page of your appendix, and let the reviewers copy and paste from their pdf viewer.– JeffECommented May 8, 2012 at 15:08

4@JeffE: The problem is reviewers who don't even realize their anonymity is threatened. It's rare for this to occur, but it has happened. I know of one case involving a journal submission. One referee report complained that the simulation results weren't convincing, so the authors offered additional data for the referee on their web site, and then identified him based on the logs and complained to the editor about why they believed he was biased. The most shocking thing was that the authors told the editor what they had done. I'd guess that it happens much more often secretly.– Anonymous MathematicianCommented May 8, 2012 at 15:45

2@AnonymousMathematician: This is clearly something that needs to be managed by the conference organizers, then. If they want to insist on total anonymity, then they need to provide the resources to make that happen. Perhaps the code is provided to them, and they host it on a website. Or they create the repository, so that the file provider doesn't know the URL.– aeismailCommented May 8, 2012 at 17:30
- Correct minor typos or mistakes
- Clarify meaning without changing it
- Add related resources or links
- Always respect the author’s intent
- Don’t use edits to reply to the author
-
create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
```
like so
``` -
add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible)
<https://example.com>
[example](https://example.com)
<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
