In previous works only algorithms to determine the reversibility and conjugate reversibility have been given. The procedure is useful in the center problem because any nondegenerate and nilpotent center is orbitally reversible. Moreover, using this algorithm is possible to find degenerate centers which are orbitally reversible.
