Latest review

Outcome: Rejected (im.).

Motivation:
They suggested an automated transfer to the sister journal Advanced Engineering Materials. However, it's worth noting that (1) Advanced Engineering Materials is ranked much (8/415 vs. 146/415) lower than Advanced Materials in the Web of Knowledge and that (2) it is an open-access journal with an APC of US$4330.
