# Advanced Materials Scope Fit (advmat-scope-fit)

## When to trigger

- You suspect the work is solid but may be "incremental optimization"
- You cannot articulate why a materials scientist outside your subfield should care
- A coauthor asks "Adv. Mater. or Adv. Funct. Mater.?"
- An editor has previously bounced similar work on novelty/impact grounds
- Before investing in cover-quality figures and full characterization, you want a go / no-go on venue

## The two-part gate (both must pass)

Advanced Materials publishes across all of materials science — materials chemistry, nanotechnology, energy materials (batteries, photovoltaics, catalysis), electronics and optoelectronics, biomaterials, soft matter, and structural materials. The gate is two tests, AND-ed:
