Abstract:
Bias and subjectivity are to be avoided in scientific research since they can lead to incorrect data interpretation. Methods that enhance the rigor and reproducibility of biomedical research include filename blinding. To overcome the limitations of currently available blinding programs, we developed BlindSpot, a publicly available, user-friendly tool for filename renaming. BlindSpot is compatible with macOS and Windows, supports both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command-line interface (CLI), and has features to customize blinding and safeguard data identity.
