The trial will start with an initial pilot phase where the first 10 authors to opt in will go through the ‘results free’ process to show that the procedure is feasible and efficient. Following the pilot, a randomised controlled trial will start where authors who opt in are randomly assigned to the ‘results free’ or normal peer-review process.
