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: Single-blind • Describe criteria used by Reviewers when accepting/declining papers. Was there the opportunity to resubmit articles after revisions?: the organizing committee received submitted manuscript and distributed the manuscript to reviewers through open conference system (OCS) of Universitas Syiah Kuala. Submitted manuscript was assigned to reviewers (two reviewers for each of paper). The papers were reviewed based on the Clarity, Originality, Appropriateness of Material and method, Clarity of Findings. If reviewers accepted the papers or accepted with revision then the committee sent the manuscript back to authors, and the authors could address all comments from the reviewers. The authors sent the final manuscripts back to the committee through the OCS. Finally, the 10th AIC-SE editors finalized the final manuscripts by proofreading and checking the format of manuscripts based on IOP Publishing guidelines. • Conference submission management system: Open Conference Systems (OCS) of Universitas Syiah Kuala (http://conference.unsyiah.ac.id/AIC-SE/AIC2020-SE/index) • Number of submissions received: 103 manuscripts. • Number of submissions sent for review: 98 manuscripts. • Number of submissions accepted: 87 manuscripts. • Acceptance Rate (Number of Submissions Accepted / Number of Submissions Received X 100): 84.47% • Average number of reviews per paper: 2 reviewers. • Total number of reviewers involved: 45 reviewers. • Any additional info on review process: The papers were evaluated based on the technical criteria, quality criteria and presentation criteria.
