advmat-length-management

Use when an Advanced Materials manuscript must be fit to its article-type format — Communication versus Research Article — where word count and display items are budgeted together against a typeset page limit. Manages the length budget; does not restructure the science or polish prose line by line.

# Advanced Materials Length Management (advmat-length-management)

## When to trigger

- You are unsure whether the work is a Communication or a full Research Article
- The manuscript overruns the typeset page limit for its article type
- Figures/schemes are large and you must trade display items against text
- A reviewer or editor asked you to condense to a Communication, or expand to an Article
- You are in late polish, after the science and figures are stable

## Article type sets the budget

Advanced Materials counts length in **typeset published pages**, not manuscript pages — a double-spaced 25-page manuscript may typeset to far fewer pages in the two-column layout. Word count and **display items (figures, schemes, tables) count together** against the page budget. Approximate targets (verify current limits on the author page):
