The proceedings for WSDM 2017 are available online and accessible through http://www.wsdm-conference.org/2017/proceedings/.
Is there an impact of double-blind reviewing in a conference setting? On bidding behavior? On reviewing behavior? Does fame pay? Find out which reviewing model WSDM should use in the future… During WSDM 2017, the PC chairs Andrew Tomkins and Min Zhang ran an experiment on single-blind vs double-blind reviewing. A detailed write-up of the experiment plus an analysis of the results by Andrew Tomkins, Min Zhang and William D. Heavlin has been posted on arXiv at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.00502v1.pdf. A summary of the design, analysis and conclusion of the experiment is on Google docs.
