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 Review The detailed review process is as follows 1. Authors will submit their original and unpublished work (related to the theme of the conference). They clearly need to identify the problem, their contribution(s), and justification with respect to the state-of-the-art work. 2. Authors need to submit their papers through Easy Chair link. 3. The PC chairs will initially do the screening on the basis of scope, technical content, similarity and formatting of the submitted papers. The suitable papers will be sent for single-blind review. a. PC chairs will allow scientific committee members to choose the research topics they are willing to review. Based on this and their expertise, PC chairs will assign papers for a review manually. b. Scientific committee members can invite sub-reviewers and can hand over some papers if the papers are not within their field of expertise, and the whole process is available at the Easychair (i.e., taking help from sub reviewers). c. Scientific committee members are, however, still responsible for the quality and timeliness of the reviews allocated originally to them. Accordingly, the paper/review management system supports the allocation of reviews, at the initiation of PC members. 4. For evaluating the papers, the Easy Chair scores mechanism will be as followed: i. Strong accept (3), Accept (2) and Weak accept (1) ii. Borderline (0) iii. Strong reject (-3), Reject (-2) and Weak reject (-1) 5. In all cases, PC chairs will work closely. Based on the review reports and the scores, PC chairs send a notification to the authors via along with the review reports/scores. a. Notification is based on an average score provided by the assigned reviewers. b. Note that notification, in the first review, will be straight: accept and reject. c. The papers with an average score less than 0 will be rejected. For accepted papers, general chairs will provide a month for an additional revision, if any. This will mostly useful for those authors who have received major comments. 6. After having revised versions, we will have exactly same set of experts for review, and will add one more in case there exists contradictory review reports/scores. An example of contradictory review means giving +3 (strong accept) and -3 (strong reject) scores from two different for the same paper. At this point, PC chairs will help invite an additional reviewer. 7. After having all review reports/scores, PC chairs will make a final decision. • Conference submission management system: Easy-Chair • Number of submissions received: 75 • Number of submissions sent for review: 52 • Number of submissions accepted:23 • Acceptance Rate (Number of Submissions Accepted / Number of Submissions Received X 100): 30.66% • Average number of reviews per paper: Two • Total number of reviewers involved:51 • Any additional info on review process: NO • Contact person for queries: Dr. Girraj Sharm: girrajsharma.ece@jecrc.ac.in Dr. Ashish Kumar: ashishkumar.ece@jecrc.ac.in
