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 / Double-blind / Triple-blind / Open / Other (please describe) An international scientific committee selected papers corresponding to the following criteria: a paper should have more than 8 pages and contain new scientific results, which are in the thematic area of the conference. Next, each selected paper underwent scientific peer review and technical check. The type of peer review was double-blind scientific peer review. At least 3 reviewers from different scientific organizations participated in the review of one paper. In case of disagreement between the reviewers, additional reviewers were involved. All papers are also checked for plagiarism, image quality and quality of the English language. • Conference submission management system: Open Journal System • Number of submissions received: 1240 • Number of submissions sent for review: 1157 • Number of submissions accepted: 493 Acceptance Rate (Number of Submissions Accepted / Number of Submissions Received X 100): 39.75 • Average number of reviews per paper: 3 reviewers per paper • Total number of reviewers involved: 132 • Any additional info on review process: Contact person for queries: Name: Vera Murgul Affiliation: Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University, St. Petersburg, Russia Email: [email protected]

The purpose of the paper is to summarize the organizational and ethical aspects, problems and prospects of peer reviewing. To do this, from September 2019 to January 2020, a survey of Ukrainian scientists registered in Facebook groups “Ukrainian Scientific Journals”, “Ukrainian Scientists Worldwide”, “Pseudoscience News in Ukraine”, “Higher Education and Science of Ukraine: Decay or Blossom?” and others was conducted. In total, 390 researchers from different disciplines participated in the survey. The results of the survey are following: 8.7% of respondents prefer open peer review, 43.1% – single-blind, 37.7% – double blind, 9.2% – triple blind, 1.3% used to sign a review prepared by the author. 75.6% of respondents had conflicts of interest during peer reviewing. 8.2 % of reviewers never reject articles regardless of their quality. Because usually only editors and authors see reviews, it can lead to the following issues: reviewers can be rude or biased; authors may not adequately respond to grounded criticism; editors may disregard the position of the author or reviewer, and journals may charge for publishing articles without proper peer review.
