I submitted an article. It is a flagship journal in the Materials today family. The review speed was relatively slow. However, there are not many articles in a year, and the slowness is understandable. Taking the contribution of the newly published sub-journals into account, the impact factor will continue to rise. It started accepting original articles a few years ago. The current ratio of research articles and reviews is about 1:1. The impact factor is about to be 30. It is worth a try if you are not in a rush to graduate and you have a good work and the support of experts.

I received an email from the EIC the first half of May requesting a major revision. In mid-July, the manuscript was handed over to the EIC but it was immediately rejected. During a second submission, both reviewers asked for minor revisions and we received proof in early November. The speed is good, and the proof time is longer after submitting revisions. The length of the article is limited to 3,500 words, and the review is basically short and fine.

On February 8th, I submitted it and still haven't received any news. Is it still necessary to wait? It's really annoying. Is the author being forced to withdraw the submission?

How are you doing now, OP? I have been waiting for over half a month and the editor hasn't made any changes yet.

With the same article, it has been 25 days since submission, and the status date is still the submission time. The editor probably hasn't read the article yet...

OA is optional.

It's so slow that it's killing me. It's been half a month since I submitted it and it's still in the hands of the editor. On the day of submission, it was already in the hands of the editor, with no efficiency at all. The homepage still says results will be out in 8 days, but I see that there are only a little over 100 submissions, not many articles. Have the editors all gone on vacation? With this kind of efficiency, this journal is probably on its last legs.

Excuse me, OP, is Materials Today currently fully open access or is open access optional?
