advmat-length-management

separate

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.

When to use

• Choosing between Communication and Research Article
• Fitting manuscript to typeset page limit
• Trading display items against text
• Condensing to Communication or expanding to Article
• Trimming hype, redundant prose, and secondary data
• Merging or moving figures to SI
• Pruning references
• Fit-checking typeset page count

When not to use

• Restructuring the science
• Polishing prose line by line
• Trimming decisive characterization
• Trimming benchmarking
• Trimming headline metric statistics
• Shrinking fonts or figures below legibility
