AICCSA 2020 uses double-blind review, which means that both the reviewer and
author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout
the review process. To facilitate this, authors need to ensure that their
manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not give away their identity or
affiliation.<br>

Besides the obvious need to remove names and affiliations under the title
within the manuscript, there are other steps that need to be taken to ensure
the manuscript is correctly prepared for double-blind peer review. To assist
with this process the key items that need to be observed are as follows:<span></span></span></p>
