  11. I found it interesting when looking for academic jobs a long time back
  12. that faculty I spoke to at some small schools felt that reviewers were
  13. excessively critical of their work versus papers that originated from
  14. "name" schools.  Of course, there may be other reasons (as I am sure
  15. scientists from name schools might quickly reply), but I was wondering
  16. whether or not any journals ever review papers either completely blind
  17. (no mention of the authors' identity and affiliation) or partially
  18. blind (e.g., no mention of the affiliation)?  This might be an
  19. interesting experiment?!?
