The transfer will take 3–4 weeks, and you should be careful! I sent a consultation e-mail, and part of the original text of the response was as follows: We had a submission system transition from EVISE to Editorial Manager (EM) and as a result there is a minor change in the workflow where the article directly reaches the Managing Editor even if the status reflects as "Submitted to journal" and the Editor will do the primary checks prior assigning the article to a handing Editor. Kindly expect an update on your article in next 3 to 4 weeks.

Share the submission process and by the way answer the questions of the students in previous posts. The article was rejected by MD, and nearly 40 questions were raised by 5 reviewers. The editor recommended us to transfer it to MTCOMM, and there was no need to send it for review if it was well revised. This is the third article in my master's degree. I will graduate in June. When I saw the name of Materials Today, I transferred it. Thinking about the IF will rise in the future, I regarded it as an investment for the future. After agreeing to transfer, the corresponding author’s mailbox will receive an email within 72 hours, where a link was provided and you can click in and submit your paper. Note that only the corresponding author can receive the email. I revised it for 20 days and then uploaded it to the system. I thought it would be accepted directly, and I didn’t expect it to be sent for review again. After with the executive editor for 2 days, it was assigned to the deputy editor, and it was sent for review after 1 day. 12 days later, the result was received. It was sent to the previous reviewers from MD. One agreed to accept it, and the other one asked a lot of questions. It was so speechless. It’s not MD, but why is it so strict? We had no choice but continue to revise, then submitted the revision after 18 days. It was re-sent for review on the same day, and we received the results 12 days later. There were only a few minor issues, we revised it for 2 days and submitted it, and it was accepted 9 minutes after submission... I was surprised... Was the editor 24h online? It was so fast... Generally speaking, the review speed is very fast, and the deadline for reviewers is 12 days. It is recommended that if you have extra articles in your hand, you can try it. I feel that as it is with Materials Today, the IF will rise. In addition: The manuscript can not be submitted to this journal directly, but can only be transferred to.

I made a submission on August 6, and it’s been with the editor until now. Has anyone here had their manuscript go under review after 10 days?

Submitted on April 28, 2025, the manuscript was reviewed in just a couple of days.
On May 21, 2025, the first revision was made, with three reviewers providing over ten comments.
The revised manuscript was submitted on June 10, 2025.
On July 13, 2025, the second round of reviews was received, with one reviewer suggesting acceptance of the revisions and another raising a question.
The second revision was uploaded on July 17, 2025, and it took about a week for it to be sent for review.
On July 31, 2025, the manuscript was accepted.
Overall, the editor processed it quickly and the reviewers' comments were very constructive. Despite a delay in the first revision process, the total time taken was three months, which could have been shorter otherwise.

Bro, the submission number I applied for seems to be over 7000, and I was given five questions in the minor revisions of the second review. After submitting for the third review, it has been 10 days since RRC, is this speed normal?

It should be fine. The editing has indeed been slow recently, but it has been much faster these past two days.
