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.

Papers passing the initial screening process had been further evaluated by a group of experts in the field to make sure they meet the necessary standards for acceptance and publication. Each paper underwent formal paper review by at least two reviewers in terms of appropriateness, clarity, originality/Innovativeness, and Overall Recommendation. We used professional conference paper management system “SOFTCONF” in coordinating the paper review process and communicating with the authors. A paper was accepted for presentation and publication only if the comments from both reviewers are positive. The reviewers’ comments had been provided to the authors so that they could follow the suggestions from the reviewers to further improve their papers. The authors were required to highlight the revisions in red in the final manuscript so that the Paper Review Committee could check to ensure the reviewers’ comments were accommodated in the revised manuscript. · Contact person for queries: Jie (Peter) Liu, Professor, Carleton University; Email: [email protected]

Since the number of all works is small - 15. All works were reviewed by two experts. When preparing for publications, we asked the authors to make two versions of articles in Russian and English language. Then the check was carried out first in Russian, then in English. The quality of the translation at the first stage of the check was checked by the Grammarly program - the site: https://www.grammarly.com/, at the second stage - it was assessed by a reviewer who has an excellent level of language English, Undrakh Mishigdorzhiin. • Conference submission management system: The conference was managed by the organizing committee Chairman V.I.Suslyaev, Ph.D., associate professor, TSU, Tomsk, a member of the organizing committee A.V.

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 Single-blind reviewing. 117 submitted full conference papers were reviewed independently by the 30 members of the scientific committee. The six members of the local organising committee also helped with the review process. The acceptance was granted to the papers with the positive reply of two independent reviewers. The reviewers were asked to rate each manuscript with regards to the following criteria: technical, presentation, quality, and English language. The submissions with low ratings were rejected with some comments to improve for their future publication endeavours in other avenues. 10 papers were desk rejected by the conference science committee chair and co-chair due to being out of scope. In 69 instances, the submitted papers were asked to be revised and submitted for another round of reviews. The second round of the review process was conducted by the chairs of various icRS2021 committees to make sure that the comments of the original reviewers were considered by the authors. • Conference submission management system: Aventri • Number of submissions received: 117 • Number of submissions sent for review: 107 • Number of submissions accepted: 73 • Acceptance Rate (Number of Submissions Accepted / Number of Submissions Received X 100): 62% • Average number of reviews per paper: 2 • Total number of reviewers involved: 36 • Any additional info on review process: - • Contact person for queries: • Name : Pezhman Ghadimi Affiliation: University College Dublin Email : [email protected]

• 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: The review process was of an open peer review type. Each article was reviewed by two reviewers. First review was provided by the author, who addressed the reviewer himself and made the revisions in the article before submitting both article and the review form. The first reviewer was asked to be someone close to their research, who could provide helpful advice. Second review was provided mostly by employees of Technical University of Košice. The reviewers reviewed articles close to their research area. They were provided with full articles including the authors names and the authors then received the review form which included the reviewer’s name. The authors had then an opportunity to revise the papers and the papers were accepted only after the authors made the changes asked for by the second reviewer in their articles. In the review form the reviewers were asked to judge the quality of the paper, choosing from options: excellent, good, average, or poor; provide some comments to support their argument and give the authors some notes to help them improve the quality of their paper. For the conclusion of the review form the reviewers had to choose the status of acceptance of the paper, choosing from following options: accepted without revisions, accepted with minor revisions, accepted with major revisions, or rejected. If the paper was accepted without revisions, the authors were then not required to provide any revisions. If the second reviewer decided to choose the reject option, the authors did not have an option to revise their paper and the paper was rejected even if the first reviewer accepted the paper. • Conference submission management system: CaptainForm • Number of submissions received: 88 • Number of submissions sent for review: 88 • Number of submissions accepted: 87 • Acceptance Rate (Number of Submissions Accepted / Number of Submissions Received X 100): 98.86 • Average number of reviews per paper: 2 • Total number of reviewers involved: 99 • Any additional info on review process: • Contact person for queries: Kamila Kotrasová, [email protected]
