The HST peer review process will move to a double-anonymous review process, in which authors’ identities are concealed from both review panel members and TAC members. Provided here are responses to common issues (presented as a FAQ) to provide general information to the community on these changes. See the Anonymizing Proposal Reviews Working Group Home site for information on the working group that compiled these guidelines.  The Proposer Guidelines in Anonymous Reviews for help in preparing proposals, and a similar page Reviewer Guidelines in Anonymous Reviews gives general guidelines to reviewers. Please send questions and comments to hstanon@stsci.edu

Why are you moving to double-anonymous reviews?

...

STScI has strict plagiarism software that monitors all submissions. Suspicious cases will be flagged and reviewed by SMO staff, and plagiarized proposals may be disqualified. However, a similarity of ideas and proposals that can compete for the best use of HST to test these ideas is crucial to the scientific process.

Where can I find the guidelines?

Guidelines for both proposers and reviewers can be found at https://outerspace.stsci.edu/display/APRWG
