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 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.

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 review First of all, the editor Iris will take a simple check to know whether the paper topics are included in the call-for-paper areas of this conference, if not, the submission will be rejected or seggested to other conferences. The included submissions will then be numbered and sent to the conference committee members(reviewers) for peer-review, the author names, emails and affiliations were removed constantly in this porocess. Each reviewer should fill in the reviewing form and 9 criterias in total are to be scored (5-point scale, with 1=lowest and 5=highest), including “Originality: Is the work relevant and novel”, “Motivation: Does the problem considered have a sound motivation”, “Repetition: Have significant parts of the manuscript already been published”, “Length: Is the content of the work of sufficient scientific interest to justify its length”, “Conclusion: Does the paper contain a carefully conclusion, summarizing what has been learned and why it is useful”, “Reference: Is the reference adequate and necessary”, “Structure: Is the manuscript structure(including the title, abstract and the content) rational”, “Language: Is the language accurate and readable”, “Diagrams, figures, tables and captions: Are they essential and clear”. Then the reviewer will give an overall evaluation or Detailed reviewing result(if any). In the end of the form, the final decision of Accept/Revision/Reject should be selected. No matter which selection the paper was marked, we send the whole reviewing form to the authors. When it is marked by Revision, we will have a double check of the revised papers before acceptation. • Conference submission management system: Yaseen Academy • Number of submissions received: 8 • Number of submissions sent for review: 7 • Number of submissions accepted: 4 • Acceptance Rate (Number of Submissions Accepted / Number of Submissions Received X 100): 50% • Average number of reviews per paper: 3 • Total number of reviewers involved: 12 • Any additional info on review process: A preliminary review was conducted by the main editor and only the approved papers were sent for peer-reviewed. • Contact person for queries: Iris Zhang (Yaseen Academy, Hongshan District, Wuhan, Hubei, China, [email protected])
