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 Peer review conducted was a single-blind review. • Review criteria: • Conference submission management system : Easychair and • Number of submissions received: 37 • Number of submissions sent for review: 37 • Number of submissions accepted : 11 • Acceptance Rate (Number of Submissions Accepted / Number of Submissions Received X 100): 29.72 % • Average number of reviews per paper: 2 • Total number of reviewers involved : 18 • Any additional info on review process: Criteria are based on scientific content, clarity and format. Authors must ensure that the papers submitted use the symposium format. There are three review processes: Initial Review, Peer Review and Acceptance Decision. Initial Review The Editors-in-Chief evaluates each manuscript in the submission theme to determine if its topic and content can be considered for the conference before being reviewed. Manuscripts that do not meet the initial criteria are rejected. Peer Review Papers accepted in the first stage underwent a review and revision process that took an average of two rounds for each paper. The peer review of each paper concentrates on objective and technical concerns to determine whether the research has been sufficiently well conceived, well executed, and well described to justify inclusion in the scientific evidence. After acceptance, articles were reread in English and checked for similarity via Turnitin. Articles with a similarity index greater than 20% were rejected. Acceptance decision Based on the reviewers’ comments, the editor-in-chief makes a final decision on the acceptability of the manuscript and communicates the decision to the authors, along with the reviewers’ reports.
