Advanced Materials Workflow (advmat-workflow)
Overview
This is the router. It does not do the work of any specialized skill; it names which advmat- skill fits your current stage* and hands off.
Default assumption: unless told otherwise, the target is Advanced Materials (Adv. Mater.) — Wiley-VCH's flagship materials-science journal. The defining bar is a genuine materials-science advance (a new material, mechanism, or property — not an incremental improvement) that is rigorously characterized by multiple complementary techniques, ideally carried through to a device-level demonstration benchmarked against the state of the art, and communicated with cover-quality figures. If the work is solid but incremental or narrowly functional, its home is more likely Advanced Functional Materials, Advanced Science, Small, or Advanced Materials Interfaces, and advmat-scope-fit will say so.
When to trigger
- User asks "what should I do next?" on a materials manuscript
- User drops a draft and needs the current bottleneck diagnosed
- User is unsure whether the result is "Adv. Mater.-worthy" or belongs in a sibling Advanced-portfolio journal
- The manuscript is over the Communication/Article length format and content must be re-partitioned
- User received a Wiley reviewer report and needs to switch into response mode
Routing table
| Current symptom | Next skill |
|---|---|
| Unsure if the advance is novel / broad enough for Adv. Mater. | advmat-scope-fit |
| Result is real but the "why this is an advance" is unclear | advmat-results-framing |
| Characterization is thin, or the experimental section sprawls | advmat-methods |
| Figures are dense; no cover-quality lead figure or TOC graphic | advmat-figures |
| Manuscript leans on the SI; reader can't follow without it | advmat-supplementary |
| Prose is wordy, hedged, or not Wiley house style | advmat-writing-style |
| Over the Communication (~4 pp) or Article (~10 pp) format budget | advmat-length-management |
| Need a cover letter that argues advance + broad impact | advmat-cover-letter |
| Ready to submit; need format / file / metadata preflight | advmat-submission |
| Choosing suggested/opposed referees; anticipating objections | advmat-referee-strategy |
| Received a reviewer report or editor decision; need to respond | advmat-revision |
Default order
advmat-scope-fit— settle the advance + broad-impact gate first; redirect to a sibling journal if it failsadvmat-results-framing— lock the single central advance and its significanceadvmat-methods— make the multi-technique characterization airtight; full experimental detail to the SIadvmat-figures— design the lead figure and the TOC graphic to convey the advance at a glanceadvmat-supplementary— partition extended data / methods into Supporting Information; the paper must stand aloneadvmat-writing-style— Wiley house style, concision, defined nomenclature and unitsadvmat-length-management— fit the Communication or Article format (display items and words counted together)advmat-cover-letter— argue the advance + broad-impact case to the editorsadvmat-submission— final preflight (format, files, article type, ORCID, TOC graphic)advmat-referee-strategy— suggested / opposed referees; pre-empt the characterization / benchmarking objectionsadvmat-revision— after the reviewer reports arrive
advmat-writing-styleandadvmat-length-managementare late polish stages. Do not trim to the page format before the central advance, characterization, and figures are stable, or you will cut load-bearing evidence.
Decision heuristics
- "Reviewer 2 will ask 'why not Adv. Funct. Mater.?'" →
advmat-scope-fit - "I can state the material but not why it is a genuine advance" →
advmat-results-framing - "A referee will say the phase assignment isn't proven" →
advmat-methods - "My lead figure has ten panels and no single takeaway" →
advmat-figures - "You can't judge the material without reading the SI" →
advmat-supplementary - "I'm over the page limit and every figure is huge" →
advmat-length-management - "The editor needs to be told why this matters beyond my subfield" →
advmat-cover-letter - "Submitting tonight" →
advmat-submission - "Who should I suggest as a referee?" →
advmat-referee-strategy - "Three reviewer reports just landed" →

Manuscript status board
Readiness is a two-column question: is the science settled, and does it fit the format? Fill this board before invoking advmat-submission; any cell still marked OPEN routes you back to the named skill.

Differences vs. sibling Advanced-portfolio journals
Advanced Materials shares Wiley-VCH production and rigor standards with Advanced Functional Materials, Advanced Science, Small, and Advanced Materials Interfaces, but differs on the gate:
- Adv. Mater.: a broadly significant materials advance — a new material, mechanism, or property that reshapes how a field thinks. Incremental optimization is declined on impact grounds even when flawless.
- AFM / Small / Adv. Sci. / AMI: excellent, rigorous, but appropriately specialist or incremental work with a well-defined audience.
If advmat-scope-fit returns a "specialist / incremental" verdict, retarget rather than fighting the impact gate.
Anti-patterns
- Do not skip
advmat-scope-fit— editors triage on advance/impact first; a wrong-venue paper burns a submission cycle - Do not run
advmat-length-managementbefore the science is stable — you will cut characterization the referees need - Do not let the Supporting Information become the place where the real evidence hides
- Do not draft
advmat-revisionresponses before you have actually changed the manuscript and added the requested data
