Primes

• Blinding
  • In software, blind code review withholds authorship and registered-metric analysis withholds the arm label.

    This sourceLarge-scale study (1010 FOSS projects) finding gender bias in code-acceptance outcomes and that women using gender-neutral (identity-concealed) profiles had higher odds of acceptance in several Gerrit projects — empirical support that blind code review withholds authorship to defend the evaluation against the identity channel.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
