progress-in-materials-science

separate

Use when targeting Progress in Materials Science or deciding whether a materials-science review fits this venue. Encodes the journal's review-only fit, the comprehensiveness-and-critical-synthesis bar, the scope-and-balance expectations, the often-invited/proposal route, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

When to use

• targeting Progress in Materials Science
• deciding whether a materials-science review fits this venue
• re-framing a manuscript into a field-spanning critical synthesis
• deciding between this journal, a shorter review outlet, and a primary-research venue
• understanding proposal/invitation expectations
• applying review-specific desk-reject heuristics

When not to use

• narrow mini-review
• literature roundup with no synthesis
• unsolicited primary-research paper
• short-form reviews
