How can we square this with #OpenScience practices where author names, status, and affiliations on articles are no longer blinded bc of pre-prints, for example? Serious question.https://twitter.com/IMMAlab/status/1062114111776006145 …
Somehow normal scientific standards don't apply. This non-blinded, non-controlled study shows what exactly? More sophisticated studies on the topic don't find that large effects, or any. We know there's a lot of desire to prove it, so color me skeptical.

Agreed, there may be other reasonable explanations as well. Overall tho, I am on the side of blinding name (and consequently gender in most cases), status, and affiliations for all publishing and grant reviews.

Blinding is generally not so useful given preprint culture, and before that evidence shows reviewers could guess authors in like 35% of cases. But yeah, blinding is probably worth it to reduce some biases.
