# Advanced Functional Materials (advanced-functional-materials)

## Journal positioning

Advanced Functional Materials is a Wiley journal in the Advanced family and the functional-materials sister of Advanced Materials. Its defining character is primary research on materials whose value is defined by a function and an application: electronic, optoelectronic, photonic, magnetic, energy, biomedical, sensing, soft-robotic, and structural materials where the design of structure or composition delivers a specific, demonstrated capability. The journal rewards work that links materials design and mechanism to device-level or application-level performance, with the emphasis on the functional property rather than on a new bulk material per se. It is positioned just below Advanced Materials in scope breadth but shares its rigor and device orientation, expecting a clear structure-function-application chain. Readership spans materials chemistry, condensed-matter physics, device engineering, and applied nanoscience. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Advanced Functional Materials Wiley site.

## When to trigger

- The author names Advanced Functional Materials as the target for primary research on a functional material with a clear device or application emphasis.
- A manuscript demonstrates a functional property (electronic, optical, magnetic, mechanical, biomedical, sensing) enabled by materials design, and the author is choosing between this venue and Advanced Materials, Nature Materials, or Matter.
- A paper sits between a broadly significant materials breakthrough (Advanced Materials) and an application-specific result, and the author needs to decide where it fits.
- The author needs the journal's structure-function-application bar, house style, and desk-reject criteria before submission.
