I submitted it on June 10th, and it was reviewed in just two days. The speed is quite fast.

Why was there a change in the new editor-in-chief this time? After checking, it was found that Professor Giovanni Zangari (Editor for Electrochemistry) is no longer a member of the journal's editorial board in 2023, and has been replaced by Editor-in-Chief Prof. R. Ubic, who directly rejected the submission. There is suspicion as to why there was no feedback for revision in the second review in December, possibly due to issues during the transition of personnel. Regarding Prof. R. Ubic, there are many comments "greeting" him. If you are considering submitting to Materials Research Bulletin, please be cautious, as I have experienced a major setback. It took 7 months, from September 8, 2022, when I first submitted, to the final rejection on March 26, 2023, causing significant delays.

The opinion of the second review is that even the first review comments in the PDF version are also speechless. According to the requirements of the journal and the opinions in the PDF version, revise and resubmit the revised manuscript for the second review on February 13, 2023, until Under View starting from March 4, 2023. The review ended on March 24, 2023, waiting for the editor's handling. On March 26, 2023, the new Editor-in-Chief, Prof. R. Ubic, directly rejected the submission. The reason for the rejection is that your manuscript has been reviewed and may be published in the "Materials Research Bulletin". "Materials Research Bulletin" only publishes a small portion of the submitted manuscripts, which represent those articles that are most likely to have a significant impact and generate widespread interest in the field of materials chemistry. Unfortunately, based on the confidential opinions of the following review results and expert reviewers regarding relevance, impact, quality, novelty, etc., I regret to inform you that we cannot ultimately accept your manuscript for publication.

December 22, 2022, the second review ended, and Giovanni Zangari, the editor-in-chief, gave feedback for revisions (system shows "Revise"). The deadline for revisions is February 19, 2023.
Something strange happened: the system showed the need for revisions, but the email sent by the editor did not include any revision comments.
On December 23, 2022, Christmas Day, an email was sent to the journal inquiring about the second review feedback. On December 29, Elsevier Researcher Support replied, stating that they were informing the editor, but then there was no further communication.
On January 17, 2023, another email was sent through the submission system to inquire about the revision feedback. On January 18, Elsevier Researcher Support replied, stating that they were coordinating with the editor, but still no response was received.
On February 1, 2023, a third email was sent to the editor inquiring about the second review feedback. Finally, on February 4, the second review feedback was received. Upon opening it, it was discovered that it was the review comments from the second reviewer in the first review's PDF version. At that moment, the journal editor was directly confronted.

2022.09.08: Transfer and submit the manuscript from another journal.
2022.10.07: Review process completed, waiting for editorial handling.
2022.10.14: Professor Giovanni Zangari (Editor for Electrochemistry) provided review comments for revision (system shows "Revise"). The opinions of the two reviewers are as follows: the first reviewer suggests adding a table for comparison in the introduction; the second reviewer's opinion is that the results presented in the paper are worthy of publication, but the paper's design structure is not yet fluent. The second reviewer not only provided review comments in the email but also separately provided a PDF with review comments. However, Giovanni Zangari, the editor-in-chief, did not include it in the initial email, and it took three days to request it from the journal during the revision process. The revision time was two months, with a deadline of December 12, 2022.
2022.12.10: Revision completed, resubmitted through the system.

Is there any recent submission? I want to know how long it usually takes for MBS to review. It has been a week with the editor, and I'm getting a bit anxious.

Fenzhen712 2022-12-13

Submitted in April this year, received the review comments in late July, and accepted a month later. The whole process took more than 4 months.

Speaking of which, which step did the original poster drag on for a long time?

Nice to meet you 2022-07-14

It has been dragging on for seven months... Tired, really tired.

This journal is extremely slow. It feels like they intentionally delay publication due to a low number of articles, taking almost half a year.

wuvera 2021-12-28

Speed difference evaluation, it took almost 50 days to be rejected by the editor without being sent for review (at least it was transferred from another journal), should have rejected it earlier!!!

wuvera 2021-12-13

The translation of the text into English is as follows:

"The submission was rejected and transferred to this journal.
Confirmed successful transfer on November 9th.
With editor on December 13th, the status has been maintained for over a month.
It's too slow, who knows how long we have to wait... Ahh..."

After three months of review, it was directly rejected. What a terrible journal. I submitted to CCC and they accepted it within a month.

And it has been under review ever since...
There has been less than one update in the past month, and it has been in the reviewing status all along.
The last update was on July 22nd.
