Anonymous Github
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Anonymous Github is a system to anonymize Github repositories before referring to them in a double-blind paper submission.
|
|
|
|
Indeed, in a double-blind review process, the open-science data or code that is in the online appendix must be anonymized, similarly to paper anonymization. The authors must
|
|
|
|
* anonymize URLs: the name of the institution/department/group/authors should not appear in the URLs of the open-science appendix
|
|
* anonymize the appendix content itself
|
|
|
|
Anonymizing an open-science appendix needs some work, but fortunately, this can be automated, this is what Anonymous Github is about.
|
|
|
|
Anonymous Github anonymizes:
|
|
* the Github owner / organization / repository name
|
|
* the content of the repository
|
|

Using Anonymous Github
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use it, open the main page (eg [http://anonymous.4open.science/](http://anonymous.4open.science/)), and simply fill 1. the Github repo URL and 2. the word list (which can be updated afterwards).
|
|
The anonymization of the content is done by replacing all occurrences of words in a list by "XXX".
|
|
The word list is provided by the authors, and typically contains the institution name, author names, logins, etc...
|
|
|
|
In a paper under double-blind review, instead of putting a link to Github, one puts a link to the Anonymous Github instance (e.g.
|
|
<http://anonymous.4open.science/repository/840c8c57-3c32-451e-bf12-0e20be300389/> which is an anomyous version of this repo).
|
|
|
|
To start using Anonymous Github right now, a public instance of anonymous_github is hosted at 4open.science:
|
|
|
|
**[http://anonymous.4open.science/](http://anonymous.4open.science/)**
|
|
|
|
|
|
How it works?
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The anonymization of the URL is achieved though proxying all requests.
