Categories of contribution for the journal are Communications, Review Articles, Progress Reports, Rearch News, Essays, Correspondence, and Book Reviews. Communications should reprent novel rearch and significant advances in the field of materials science.
Only manuscripts in English are accepted. Contributors should bear in mind the interdisciplinary nature of the readership, always emphasizing the importance of the topic to workers in other fields.robosapien
No page charge is levied. The extra costs associated with color figure reproduction are expected to be met in part by the author. The author will be advid of their expected color cost contribution upon acceptance of their manuscript for publication. (The author’s contribution can be waived if the author is unable to contribute their share of the costs and if the editor agrees color reproduction is scientifically necessary.) Similarly, suggestions for cover artwork are welcomed, but part of the production costs must be paid by the author.
Reprints, PDF files, and cover posters can be ordered when the proofs of a manuscript are returned to the publisher. Reprint rates are available from the editorial office on request.
Manuscript Submission
The manuscript should be submitted online via the online submission rvice manuscriptXpress (). To submit your manuscript, plea follow the instructions given on the website. In order to submit a manuscript you will need a single Microsoft Word, RTF, PDF, or PostScript file that contains the text, all figures and tables, and any Supporting Information associate
d with the manuscript. MSword templates (Win/Mac compatible) for Reviews, Progress Reports, Rearch News, and Communications are available on the homepage in the ction "For Authors". Plea u the templates for submission of your contribution.
Advanced Materials does not publish manuscripts that have already appeared in print or electronically (including tho deposited in preprint archives).
The author must inform the editor of manuscripts submitted, soon to be submitted, or in press at other journals that have a bearing on the manuscript being submitted to Advanced Materials. The "The Ethical Guidelines for Publication in Journals and Reviews" issued by the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences are followed and applied by the editors of Advanced Materials. In particular, authors should reveal all sources of funding for the work prented in the manuscript and should declare any conflict of interest.
If the manuscript is, in fact, a revid/extended version of a manuscript previously rejected by Advanced Materials, the author must inform the editor about the previous submission in the cover letter and explain in detail which changes have been made.
enchantedTo ensure continuity of contact details, the corresponding author of a manuscript should hold at mini
mum a postdoctoral rearch position or be a permanently contracted staff member in industry. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the editorial office.
Confirmation of Receipt/Asssment
Authors of all articles will receive acknowledgement of receipt of their manuscript. All
contributions are subject to asssment by the editors and/or refereeing.

Bitmap graphic images such as photographs and electron microscopy images should be saved as TIFF files; each figure part must have a resolution of at least 300 dpi (1000 pixels wide when the image is printed at a single column width). More details can be found on the journal homepage in the Production Data Checklist and Graphics FAQ subctions of the “For Authors” page.
Supporting Information documents must be prepared as a single PDF file, with all figures incorporated into the text (e below for more details on Supporting Information).
To submit multimedia files, plea consult the Editorial office for recommended formats and file transfer information.
There are two ways to submit your production data files:
a) U the upload function on your personal homepage (Role = “Author”, “Manuscripts for Production”. All data files must be combined into a SINGLE archive file. Additional comments should be nt by e-mail directly to the journal’s editorial office.
b) Send all data files in an archive attached to an e-mail message to the journal’s editorial office. The “Subject” line should include the words “Production data” and the manuscript identifier, e.g., adma.200801234.
Categories of Contributions
mlgbdCommunications are unsolicited, peer-reviewed short reports of outstanding novel findings that also have important and general implications for specialists working in other fields. The first paragraph should summarize the reasons for undertaking the work and the main conclusions which can be drawn. The final paragraph should summarize the major conclusions of the paper. The esntial findings prented in a Communication, or significant parts, of them may not already have appeared in print or online (for example, in reviews, proceedings, or preprints). Contributions that are judged too specialized for the general readership of Advanced Materials will be returned to the authors without further external review. All other communications are assd by independent reviewers. Authors should suggest suitable reviewers. Authors should ensure that reviewer suggestions do not

clo ties. The maximum length of a Communication is four journal pages – approximately 3000 words (including main text, experimental ction, references, and captions) and three display items (including figures, tables, and schemes). Longer papers will be accepted only in exceptional cas if their quality warrants special consideration.
A maximum of five keywords should be supplied. The file comments field should be ud to include a statement of the number of words and display items.
Supporting Information in the form of additional figures, movies, experimental details and so on may accompany a manuscript, and will be published online only. This material will not be edited, so should be error free. The rearch reported in a Communication must stand on its own in the abnce of its Supporting Information (for example, if Internet access is unavailable). Before acceptance, the editor may request transfer of a manuscript to Advanced Functional Materials (www.afm-journal.de), the Full Paper sister journal of Advanced Materials, if part or all of the Supporting Information is judged to be critical to the manuscript.
Reviews are peer-reviewed and give a general overview of a particular field, providing the reader with an appreciation of the importance of the work, a summary of recent developments, and a guide to the relevant literature. Manuscripts should be at least 19 000 words in length, divided into appropriate ctions, and contain 15-20 display items. A passport-type photo and a short summary (75 words maximum) of the career to-date of the correspondence author(s) should be included, as well as a short abstract and five keywords.
Progress Reports provide a critically lected overview of recent progress in important rearch fields. It is not intended that the articles be comprehensive, but rather insightful, lective, critical, opinionated, and even visionary. Manuscripts should be at least 10 000 words in length, divided into
appropriate ctions, and contain 5-10 display items. A passport-type photo and a short summary (75 words maximum) of the career to-date of the correspondence author(s) should be included as well as a short abstract and five keywords.
Rearch News articles are intended to inform non-specialist readers of recent developments at the forefront of materials science and technology, in the form of a short review. Manuscripts should not contain any new data/results, and should contain no more than 4500 words in length and up to 3 display items. A short abstract and a maximum of five keywords should be included.
Essays are a forum for news and opinion on topics of national and international interest. This can include, for example, news of funding and rearch organizations, societies, or points of controversy within materials science. Manuscripts should be no more than 5000 words in length plus one display item. A passport-type photo and a short summary (75 words maximum) of the career to-date of the correspondence author(s) should be included.
Correspondence commenting on publications in the journals is welcome if it contributes to the scientific discussion.
Book Reviews are usually written on request, but suggestions are always welcome. Publishers shoul
d nd relevant books to the Editorial Office. Unsolicited books not lected for review will not be returned.
Manuscript Styling
Production data should be submitted using the MSword template (there is no need to adjust the font size or spacing given in the templates). The academic titles, first names, other initials, and surnames of all authors should be given, along with full postal address and the e-mail address of the corresponding author, who should be designated by a star. For online
submission figures, tables, and legends should be included in the text. For production, the
figures should be saved parately (for further details, plea e the Production Data Checklist under “For Authors”). All production data should include a short (~40 word) summary and figure (preferably color) for the table of contents. There is no charge for color reproduction in the table of contents.
IUPAC nomenclature should be ud when naming compounds. A full guide to nomenclature and terminology can be found at the IUPAC web site (www.iupac).
至于英文
References should be numbered quentially as they appear in the text[1] as superscripts in square brackets.[2-5] Only papers that are published or in press should be referenced.
Figures with veral parts are permitted only if the parts are cloly related either experimentally or logically. Do not display graphs as ints.
Detailed instructions for preparation of manuscripts for production (e.g., figure formatting, physical d
ata reporting, tting of equations, X-ray data archiving) are given in the For Authors ction on the journal homepage. If you have any questions, plea contact the Editorial Office directly.
Manuscripts containing animal experiments must include a statement in the Experimental Section that permission was obtained from the relevant national or local authorities. The institutional committees that have approved the experiments must be identified and the accreditation number of the laboratory or of the investigator given where applicable. If no such rules or permissions are in place in the country where the experiments were performed, then this must also be clearly stated. Manuscripts with experiments with human subjects or tissue samples from human subjects must contain a disclaimer in the Experimental Section to state that informed signed connt was obtained from either the patient or from next of kin.
The structure and compositions of all materials central to the manuscript must be disclod in the main text or in Supporting Information, including commercial and proprietary products, pure materials, and mixtures. Manuscripts reporting results using undisclod material compositions may not be considered for publication and may be returned without external review.
Image Processing
纽约州立大学石溪分校
While a certain degree of image processing is acceptable, and sometimes unavoidable, images submitted for publication should be minimally modified, and any modification to original raw data should be clearly and fully disclod. Images submitted must accurately reprent the original data, and authors must provide, if requested by the editors, unprocesd and raw data to aid in the reviewing process.
Image-processing details should be disclod in full, either in the figure legends, the Experimental ction, or in the Supporting Information. This should include the software ud and the ttings and methods applied in manipulations. Processing should be applied equally to the entire image and also to controls. Processing that obscures data or emphasizes certain regions at the expen of others should not be employed. When ud, fal-color and nonlinear adjustments, such as gamma correction, deconvolution, filtering, thresholding, and projection, should be clearly indicated in the manuscript.
In the ca of gels and blots, cropped images may be ud when necessary for clarity and conciness. As previously mentioned, the modifications must be clearly mentioned, and the full gels and blots should be provided as Supporting Information. A clear line should mark the boundary between different gels where the were cropped, and all important bandstook
