## Journal positioning

Progress in Materials Science is an Elsevier review journal that publishes
authoritative, comprehensive, and critical reviews spanning the breadth of
materials science and engineering. Its defining product is the **definitive
critical review** of an active, important field — a synthesis that maps the
state of the art, reconciles conflicting evidence, exposes open problems, and
sets a research agenda — not a report of new primary data. The journal rewards
breadth of coverage, depth of critical judgment, and balance across competing
schools of thought; a narrow mini-review, a literature roundup with no
synthesis, or an unsolicited primary-research paper is a misfit. This skill is a
