ISSN / eISSN
0264-1275 / 1873-4197
Aims and Scope
Materials and Design publishes original research reports, review articles and express communications covering the studies of structure and properties of inorganic and organic materials, advances in synthesis, processing, characterisation and testing, design of materials and engineering systems, and applications in technology. The journal is multi-disciplinary in nature, and seeks to bring together aspects of materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry. In exploring the themes ranging from materials to design, it also pursues the elucidation of underlying connections between natural and artificial, and experiment and modelling.Manuscripts submitted to Materials and Design are sought to contain elements of discovery and surprise that often accompany the obtention of new insights into the architecture and function of matter.

Verified Reviews
This is my first article after starting work. I have a relatively good understanding of the journal and have a strong emotional connection to it. The specific process is as follows:
June 16, 2021: Submission
June 26, 2021: Under review
July 20, 2021: Feedback received with 24 comments from two reviewers. One expert distinguished between critical comments and general comments. The comments were very to the point and constructive.
August 10, 2021: Resubmission
August 20, 2021: Under review
September 12, 2021: Further revisions requested. One of the reviewers was not satisfied with four of my modifications. I made the revisions and submitted them on the same day.
September 17, 2021: Acceptance
Overall, the process was relatively fast. After submitting, it is important to be patient and not rush. Personally, I believe that the research level of this journal is not on par with Nature Communications or Acta Materialia. However, it has a good reputation and is well-recognized within the field. One advantage is its high impact factor. Unlike the journal Applied Surface Science, which received a warning last year, this journal did not. Additionally, this journal is not comparable to the MDPI's open access journals in terms of quality.
