A flagship publication of RSC in materials field. Two manuscripts were submitted and one has been accepted for publication. The status from submission turns to with editor usually takes less than one week. External review is about 20 days. I resubmitted the paper after major revision, and it was then sent for review. 10 days later, the comments returned requiring a minor revision. I resubmitted it after revision again, and it was accepted in two days. Another one was rejected because there was too much content, which didn’t meet the requirements of the communication format. So it was suggested to reject after sent for review.

6 days after submission, the status became with editor at 4:30 pm, and the paper was rejected at 7:00 pm. The editor said that the experiments showed novelty, but the depth of the concept was not sufficient. I think the editor only read the Conceptual Insights statement. I did not see how the Conceptual Insights statement is defined in the format guidelines. It’s a pity that it was rejected. Later on when I thought about it, I think my research is novel concept-wise. I hope people who submit in the future would pay attention to the Conceptual Insights statement. “I do not feel that it represents work of exceptional scientific significance that demonstrates a ground-breaking new conceptual insights into the topic as is required for Communications in Materials Horizons, and it thus does not have the exceptionally high impact required to appeal to our readership.”

A bumpy road, in the field of lithium batteries, was reviewed by senior colleagues who thought it was at a similar level to AEM. Unexpectedly, the journey went from early summer to harsh winter. AEM, not submitted yet; AFM, rejected; ACS Nano, in the hands of the editor for a month, deemed too narrow in scope for rejection; Materials Today, the editor found the work interesting but not widely applicable, rejected, could be resubmitted to ESM but decided against it; rejected by CM; nano energy, too many submissions, rejected. Trying the RSC family, submitted to MH on 2024.10.24. On 10.26 with editor, in their hands for over ten days, thought it might be another rejection; under review on 11.5; revise on 12.7, with two reviewers, minor revisions, both gave positive feedback, one clearly with a background in chemistry, asked many questions about organic chemistry mechanisms; revision submitted on 12.17; accepted on 12.24. From an unknown research group, it was not easy. Thanks to the reviewers and editor. I remember when the editors of MH and Chemical Science under RSC came to promote during my visit to Harbin Institute of Technology, at that time MH was on par with AM, the latter being on par with jacs and angew. Sigh, nowadays... Nevertheless, MH is still a good journal in my heart. I sincerely hope that RSC can operate well and that Materials Horizons will soon return to glory.

The main thing to look at is the editor. My acceptance email was only sent after both reviewers replied. For another article in our group, the revised version was sent back for acceptance 6 days after one reviewer returned their comments, and the editor handled it. You should wait, as it seems that not all reviewers have replied yet.

The initial will be with the editor one week later, and then it will be sent for review, approximately 10-14 days.

How long does it take from initial assessment status to with editor during the major revision period?

(0) Thank | CHALV

It's been a week since the initial assessment, are we on track to be rejected?

Does it really take so long to accept this return?

Yes, the Communication can be submitted with the same specifications as an Original Article

(0) Thank | 道克特尔刘

Is MH only limited to communication comments and reviews? It seems that there is no option to select original articles in the submission process
