# Advanced Materials Referee Strategy (advmat-referee-strategy) ## When to trigger - The submission form asks for suggested and opposed referees and you have not planned them - You want to pre-empt the objections a materials reviewer will raise before they raise them - You are unsure who can judge both the *novelty* and the *characterization rigor* of the work - A prior submission was rejected on a predictable objection you could have addressed ## Who should judge an Adv. Mater. paper Adv. Mater. work sits at the intersection of synthesis/characterization and function/device. A good referee set covers **both** competences, plus the breadth the gate demands: - **A synthesis/characterization expert** — can assess whether the structure/phase/composition claims are proven by the technique set. - **A property/device expert** — can assess whether the performance and benchmarking are fair and meaningful. - **A neighboring-field / application referee** — supports the broad-impact claim by judging why the advance matters beyond the immediate subfield. Aim for referees who are current in the field, not conflicted, and not exclusively from your own collaboration network. Follow the journal's

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill advmat-referee-strategy --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
