摘要： Editorial favoritism in academic journals distorts the allocation of academic resources and reduces knowledge productivity. This paper uses China’s CSSCI publication data of “Project-211” universities from 2000 to 2019, and adopts double- and triple-differences methodologies to identify the impact of adopting double-blind review on the publication of articles with alumni connections to journals' editors-in-chief. We find that the reform effectively reduces the number of such publications and improves the impact factors of journals. The reform is effective only for journals that do not charge for publication fees, academically specialized, and with editors-in-chief holding doctoral degrees, and also has effectively improved the quality of manuscripts published.
