The opinions from those who have transferred from Polymer are quite constructive. Although there will be charges in the future, completely open-access journals are the future trend. Hope it will become better and better!

It can only be said to be extremely slow, from submission to now it has been 4 months, and now it is just in the second review, and there is still no reviewer assigned...

I have also been waiting for RRC for a long time, is there any news now?

Is there still anyone submitting to this journal now that it is open access? I submitted before and felt it was quite good, with a high efficiency.

If you submit a paper to Materials Today Communications on or after September 1, 2025, you will be asked to pay an article publishing charge (APC) after peer review and acceptance. This covers the cost of publishing the paper and making it freely and permanently available. The new article publishing charge for all articles (excl. taxes) will be USD 2400. Submissions received before September 1, 2025, will not incur article publishing charges (APC).

Too slow, it's been two and a half months and it's still at the first trial...

Does it only take one reviewer's feedback to make a decision? I have been waiting for a while now for the other reviewer to respond.

I have been in UR since November 25th, it's been a month and a half already, and I still haven't received the review report back. It's too slow.

How long does it take for the article to be searchable on Web of Science after acceptance? Currently, it can be found on the journal's official website.
