[Tex/LaTex] How to remove author information in sigconf template (acmart.cls) for double blind conferences

acmartauthorsigplanconf

Are there any special settings that will hide author information during the review phase of a double-blind conferences? Are we supposed to omit the author information ourselves?

Sample code:

\documentclass[sigconf]{acmart}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 

% Copyright
\setcopyright{acmcopyright}

% DOI
\acmDOI{10.475/123_4}

% ISBN
\acmISBN{123-4567-24-567/08/06}

%Conference

\acmYear{2018}
\copyrightyear{2018}

\acmPrice{15.00}

\begin{document}

    \title{Dummy}

    \author{John Doe}
    \affiliation{%
        \institution{Awesome Institute of Technology}
        \state{Country} 
    }
    \email{john.doe@gmail.com}

\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
    Dummy abstract
\end{abstract}


\end{document}

Is there any better alternative to removing the "John Doe" lines of author information?

Best Answer

you can add the parameter "anonymous=true" to your document class, so that it becomes:

\documentclass[sigconf,anonymous=true]{acmart}

or, as suggested in the comments by @gabor-szarnyas, just

\documentclass[sigconf,anonymous]{acmart}

You can keep it until the review process finishes, and then just replace true with false (or simply remove the "anonymous" parameter)
