http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/guide/g_infoac_peerev.jspEverything within this review process must be done openly, except that the referees are protected from personal interactions with the author by withholding their names.
“their names”不知是指the names of the referees还是指the names of the referees and the author。既然用了interactions这个词,应该指后者,即双向匿名。
似乎IEEE下属各刊物做法也不一样。例如:

non-blind reviews with reporting to editors of conflicts of interest by both authors and reviewers.
