Aims and Scope

Plastics, Rubber and Composites: Macromolecular Engineering provides an international forum for the publication of original, peer-reviewed research on the macromolecular engineering of polymeric and related materials and polymer matrix composites. Modern polymer processing is increasingly focused on macromolecular engineering: the manipulation of structure at the molecular scale to control properties and fitness for purpose of the final component. Intimately linked to this are the objectives of predicting properties in the context of an optimised design and of establishing robust processing routes and process control systems allowing the desired properties to be achieved reliably.

Verified Reviews

Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.

Indeed, the review process is quite slow. It took 9 months for my manuscript to be reviewed, with one being accepted directly and the other requiring major revisions. However, they were all minor issues and no additional experiments were needed. The manuscript was returned for major revisions within 3 days, and after resubmission, it was accepted within 5 days. I did not have to rush or urge for updates during the process (I was a first-year graduate student at that time, so there was no urgency). It is possible to gently remind the editors, as they are still very friendly.

I am even worse off than you! I submitted in June 2020 and have been in the "With Editor" status for three months. Then I sent an email to inquire about the situation and it immediately changed to "Under Review" status, where it remains till now. I sent a reminder email as well, but it has been two weeks and they still haven't replied. It's really frustrating. If they want to reject it, they should just do it quickly. It's been six months of no response from the reviewers. I wonder what's going on!
