Peer review declaration

Abstract

All papers published in this volume of IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering have been peer reviewed through processes administered by the Editors. Reviews were conducted by expert referees to the professional and scientific standards expected of a proceedings journal published by IOP Publishing:• Type of peer review: Double-blind All papers came through a basic review which includes checking of initial technical criteria (paper scope and similarity checks). The initial technical criteria were checked by the editorial team. Any paper that out of scope was immediately rejected. The accepted papers received were continued to a peer-review proces (submission structure, English language usage, and manuscript content) by two professional experts in a related subject area. The identities of both the authors and reviewers were kept hidden. After completing the peer review process, the process was continued by proofreading and layout.• Conference submission management system: Google forms that connected to email of 1st International Conference on Science and Technology for Sustainable Industry• Number of submissions received: 154 papers• Number of submissions sent for review: 120 papers• Number of submissions accepted: 85 papers• Acceptance Rate (Number of Submissions Accepted / Number of Submissions Received X 100): 55.19%• Average number of reviews per paper: two reviews• Total number of reviewers involved: 23 reviewers• Any additional info on review process: The reviewers were asked to answer a number of questions related to the quality of the content (reviewed form).

The decision to accept or reject was based on the suggestions of each reviewer. If differences of opinion occurred between two reviewers, the editorial team pointed out one additional reviewer to review. The decision was based on majority votes based on all comments.• Contact person for queries: seminar.brsbb@gmail.com
