Advanced Materials Submission Preflight (advmat-submission)

When to trigger

• "Submitting tonight" — the last check before the upload button
• You are unsure which files the Wiley submission system expects
• You need to confirm the manuscript fits its article-type format
• You want a single gate before handing off to peer review

Pre-submission checklist

• Supporting Information as a separate file, clearly labeled (see advmat-supplementary)
• Table-of-Contents (TOC) graphic + blurb prepared to spec
• Cover letter (see advmat-cover-letter)
• Bibliography in current Wiley Advanced Materials reference style
