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 • Conference submission management system: [email protected] • Number of submissions received: 328 • Number of submissions sent for review: 139 • Number of submissions accepted: 86 • Acceptance Rate (Number of Submissions Accepted/Number of Submissions Received X 100): 26.21 • Average number of reviews per paper: Two • Total number of reviewers involved: 36 • Any additional info on review process: Double blind review was adopted by the ICMSMT 2021. Two stages of review have been conducted for the submitted papers. The first round of review was screened to check for the conference scope, technical relevance, plagiarism and originality by the experts from the internal technical program committee. Manuscripts which passed the first round of review were sent to the field experts for peer review. Reviewers were assigned maximum of 10 papers each to review. The corresponding author was notified the outcome of the review process and invited to register for the conference if the manuscript had been recommended for acceptance. If reviewers recommended for further improvements in the manuscript, those manuscripts were sent back to the corresponding authors for revision. Final decision on the manuscript was taken by the Conference Chair and the same was communicated to the corresponding authors. • Contact person for queries (please include: name, affiliation, institutional email address) Dr. Ramya Muthusamy Chair – TPC, ICMSMT 2021 Email: [email protected], [email protected]
