In our newest “how can we help you?” thread, a reader asks:

What’s the risk of putting the titles of one’s “in progress” or “under review” papers on one’s website? Sometimes I’ll see a website where someone has replaced the title of their paper with something to the effect of “title redacted for review”. And sometimes they’ll even redact the titles of presentations on their CV (if they have a paper under review with the same title). But redacting titles of papers and presentations is a pain. So what’s the risk?

Is the thought that reviewers might discover your identity and form biases? If so, are some authors more likely than others to suffer from deanonymization? Might those who study or work at prestigious institutions, or who have excellent publication records, even benefit from a positive presumption after deanonymization?

Good questions. What do you all think?
